Abstract
This essay reflects on the future of tourism in Hawaiʻi in light of the near complete shutdown of tourism at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers mālama as a guiding principle for reimagining Hawaiʻi not as a destination for passive recreation, but for active and serious contemplation of how interconnected we are with the heavens, oceans, land, and to one another
