This only helps wealthy returning residents and will not move the needle on tourism. The islands largest employer, Grand Hyatt is closed indefinitely and will not operate as a bubble hotel.
I don’t doubt this.
Survey of Hawaii restaurant owners mentioned on HPR this AM reveals 1/2 of them anticipate
closing if business does not pick up by April.
Apparently Hawaii is considering a ban on California visitors. With a huge surge in Covid-19 cases there, some of them are likely to be carrying it over to us. California represents about one fourth of all visitors, and one out of every sixty Los Angeles residents is infected.

While they can certainly make all California residents quarantine and withdraw them from safe travels - I don't see how they could effectively be banned from entry - that runs afoul of the Privileges and Immunities Clause (Article 4 Section 2) of the Constitution - and travel to states as a right affirmed in Corfield v Coryell.
You could try the public health angle - but with many states on a per capita basis reporting more cases than California that would likely not work.
Finally, how do you implement that? A drivers license does not constitute residency (for instance, Hawaii does not require you to get a Hawaii Drivers License or ID). Ban all commercial flights from California?
Looks like FutureMauian will have to frolic at another beach - Maui is closing Little Beach.
"State officials today announced the immediate closure of Puu Olai Beach, also known as Little Beach, at Makena State Park on Maui due to beach parties with blatant nudity, illegal alcohol and hundreds of maskless people in close contact with one another."

If they are negative on a covid test and wear a mask, what is the risk?
Well - they could be like me, test negative in Vegas 12/19 - fly to HNL on 12/22 - symptoms on 12/23 - positive test received 12/24.
Quite frankly - my symptoms were so light that probably most people wouldn't have bothered with the test - since I had just traveled, decided to get the test.
The survival rate of covid is 99.87% of those infected. If they are negative on a covid test and wear a mask, what is the risk?
Yet 365,000 people have died of it, so far, in the U.S.
But let me guess, they were all motorcycle crash deaths mislabeled as Covid 19?
