The legislature finds that prior to the coronavirus pandemic, the effects of tourism on Hawaii's economy, environment, and way of life for residents was undergoing reflection and change. However, the impact of the pandemic on the State and residents provided a greater opportunity to rethink and transform Hawaii's tourism industry for a post-pandemic world, in a manner beneficial for Hawaii and its future. In July 2021, the Hawaii tourism authority announced its intent to become a more effective destination management organization. The legislature notes that destination management has become a major focus of the Hawaii tourism authority and is at the heart of its 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Update. The legislature also notes that the Hawaii tourism authority reorganized its structure and operations to support the goal of Mālama Kuu Home (caring for my beloved home) through the principles of regenerative tourism. Tourism marketing and tourism management are fundamental responsibilities of the Hawaii tourism authority and are critical to sustainable tourism. The legislature further finds that according to the Hawaii state planning act, planning for the State's economy with regard to the visitor industry shall be directed toward achievement of a visitor industry that constitutes a major component of steady growth for Hawaii's economy. To achieve the visitor industry objective, State policy specifies, among other areas, ensuring that visitor industry activities are in keeping with the social, economic, and physical needs and aspirations of Hawaii's people; and encouraging cooperation and coordination between the government and private sectors in developing and maintaining well-designed, adequately serviced visitor industry and related developments, which are sensitive to neighboring communities and activities. Tourism growth, development, and management in the State must be in alignment with the objectives and policies of the Hawaii State Planning Act. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to: (1) Ensure that the scope and responsibilities of the Hawaii tourism authority encompass best practice destination management and regenerative tourism; and (2) Require the Hawaii tourism authority to develop a tourism management plan that includes tourism marketing, best practice destination management, and regenerative tourism. SECTION 2. Section 201B-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding two new definitions to be appropriately inserted and to read as follows: ""Best practice destination management" means a holistic process that ensures that tourism adds value to the economy, social fabric, and ecology of communities. "Regenerative tourism" means tourism that focuses on reducing harm associated with tourism and restoring the harm that tourism has already done to the natural environment, through collective holistic efforts to make net positive contributions, create conditions that allow life to flourish, and improve destinations for current and future generations for the well-being of the environment, residents, host communities, and visitors." SECTION 3. Section 201B-3, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows: "(a) Except as otherwise limited by this chapter, the authority may: (1) Sue and be sued; (2) Have a seal and alter the same at its pleasure; (3) Through its president and chief executive officer, make and execute contracts and all other instruments necessary or convenient for the exercise of its powers and functions under this chapter; provided that the authority may enter into contracts and agreements for a period of up to five years, subject to the availability of funds; and provided further that the authority may enter into agreements for the use of the convention center facility for a period of up to ten years; (4) Make and alter bylaws for its organization and internal management; (5) Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, adopt rules in accordance with chapter 91 with respect to its projects, operations, properties, and facilities; (6) Through its president and chief executive officer, represent the authority in communications with the governor and the legislature; (7) Through its president and chief executive officer, provide for the appointment of officers, agents, a sports coordinator, and employees, subject to the approval of the board, prescribing their duties and qualifications, and fixing their salaries, without regard to chapters 76 and 78, if funds have been appropriated by the legislature and allotted as provided by law; (8) Through its president and chief executive officer, purchase supplies, equipment, or furniture; (9) Through its president and chief executive officer, allocate the space or spaces that are to be occupied by the authority and appropriate staff; (10) Through its president and chief executive officer, engage the services of qualified persons to implement the State's tourism [marketing] management plan or portions thereof as determined by the authority; (11) Through its president and chief executive officer, engage the services of consultants on a contractual basis for rendering professional and technical assistance and advice; (12) Procure insurance against any loss in connection with its property and other assets and operations in amounts and from insurers as it deems desirable; (13) Contract for or accept revenues, compensation, proceeds, and gifts or grants in any form from any public agency or any other source; (14) Develop, coordinate, and implement state policies and directions for tourism and related activities taking into account the economic, social, and physical impacts of tourism on the State[,]; Hawaii's natural environment[, and]; areas frequented by visitors; best practice destination management; and regenerative tourism; (15) Have a permanent, strong focus on Hawaii brand management; (16) Coordinate all agencies and advise the private sector in the development of tourism-related activities and resources; (17) Work to eliminate or reduce barriers to travel to provide a positive and competitive business environment, including coordinating with the department of transportation on issues affecting airlines and air route development; (18) Market and promote sports-related activities and events; (19) Coordinate the development of new products with the counties and other persons in the public sector and private sector, including the development of sports, culture, health and wellness, education, technology, agriculture, and nature tourism; (20) Establish a public information and educational program to inform the public of tourism and tourism-related problems; (21) Encourage the development of tourism educational, training, and career counseling programs; (22) Establish a program to monitor, investigate, and respond to complaints about problems resulting directly or indirectly from the tourism industry and taking appropriate action as necessary; (23) Develop and implement emergency measures to respond to any adverse effects on the tourism industry, pursuant to section 201B-9; (24) Set and collect rents, fees, charges, or other payments for the lease, use, occupancy, or disposition of the convention center facility without regard to chapter 91; (25) Notwithstanding chapter 171, acquire, lease as lessee or lessor, own, rent, hold, and dispose of the convention center facility in the exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties under this chapter; and (26) Acquire by purchase, lease, or otherwise, and develop, construct, operate, own, manage, repair, reconstruct, enlarge, or otherwise effectuate, either directly or through developers, a convention center facility."
