Canadians are King

The Vancouver Sun picked up on an article I wrote about Canadian arrivals on Maui, and since the article published, I've had a great response, with many inquiries into Maui Real Estate, especially ocean view condos.

Looking through the Canadian visitor arrivals for the first quarter of 2008, I arrived at the conclusion ..... Canadians are King ! The following figures are published by Hawaii's Department of Business Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). Below is a summary of Canadian visitors to Maui, and to the Hawaii Islands in general for the first quarter of 2008.

14 737 Canadian visitors arrived on Maui in January 08, up 38 % from the 10 654 Canadian arrivals in January 07. Canadian travel to the Hawaiian Islands for Jan. 08 was up 27%, with a daily average census of 20 500 visitors.

15 453 Canadian visitors arrived on Maui in February 08, up 68 % from the 9 156 Canadian arrivals in February 07. Canadian travel to the Hawaiian Islands for Feb. 08 was up 31%, with a daily average census of 21 168 visitors.

17 114 Canadian visitors arrived on Maui in March 08, up 23 % from the 13 862 Canadian arrivals in March 07. Canadian travel to the Hawaiian Islands for March. 08 was up 16%, with a daily average census of 18 877 visitors.

Thank you Canadians ! and thank you for reading my blog.

Aloha,
