Developing a Dream Destination: Tourism and Tourism Policy Planning in Hawaii Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 7 to 12 days Price: $25.00 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: Developing a Dream Destination is an interpretive history of tourism and tourism policy development in Hawai`i from the 1960s to the twenty-first century. Part 1 looks at the many changes in tourism since statehood (1959) and tourism's imprint on Hawai`i. Part 2 reviews the development of public policy toward tourism, beginning with a story of the planning process that started around 1970--a full decade before the first comprehensive State Tourism Plan was crafted and implemented. It also examines state government policies and actions taken relative to the taxation of tourism, tourism promotion, convention center development and financing, the environment, Honolulu County's efforts to improve Waikiki, and how the Neighbor Islands have coped with explosive tourism growth. Along the way, author James Mak offers interpretations of what has worked, what has not, and why. He concludes with a chapter on the lessons learned while developing a dream destination over the past half century. Lowest New Price: $25.00 - Total New: 7 Lowest Used Price: $24.00 - Total Used: 6

Wishing to expand beyond the boundaries set by others in this field, Richard Sullivan designed a guidebook placing Oahu's spectacular scenics at the core, both to illustrate the island's singular beauty in a way that words simply cannot, and as a prequel for those who find themselves contemplating Oahu for its potential as the most beautiful adventure of their lives.

Ron Church: California to Hawaii 1960 to 1965 | Condition: New Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours Price: $52.29 (It might be cheaper, visit top link) Editorial Review: Co-published by T. Adler Books and the wave-rider's Bible, The Surfer's Journal, this deluxe collection of mostly previously-unpublished vintage surfing photographs by the cult surf documentarian, Ron Church, offers a glimpse into the last moments of a small and innocent brand of west coast surf culture before it became swallowed up by today's wave jockeying, plastic surfboards and manufactured surf wear, to say nothing of the surf media. Church, who died at age 39 in 1973, was an amateur surfer himself, as well as an adventurer and a cameraman with the deep-sea explorer, Jacques Cousteau. In photographing his peers, Church preferred to paddle out with his waterproof equipment, shooting low to the water and far from shore, as if he were stalking a population of fantastic, water-walking sea creatures rather than marveling over specimens of a funky new kind of athleticism. He was among the earliest photographers to take a professional interest in the sport from any angle. In order to assemble this volume, publisher Tom Adler scoured Church's long-defunct proof sheet binders, maintained for decades by his widow. Provoked by their sheer volume, Adler selected the more offbeat moments from Church's multi-image studies, piecing together an evocative, often moody collection.
