Statement by DBEDT Director James Kunane Tokioka

In November 2025, total visitor spending increased 15.9 percent to $1.77 billion. Even though there were fewer total visitors (-3.6%) than a year ago, these visitors stayed longer and spent more on a daily basis.

Both U.S. West and U.S. East markets recorded growth in visitor spending (U.S West, +23.8%; U.S. East, +26.5%) and in visitor days (U.S West, +2.6%; U.S East, +10.3%) compared to November 2024.

The Canadian market continued to be impacted by economic and political uncertainty and recorded decreased visitor spending (-22.3%) and visitor arrivals (-22.2%) in November 2025.

We are encouraged to see continued improvement from Japan, which recorded a 4.2 percent increase in visitor arrivals and $83.0 million in visitor spending (+1.6%) for November 2025. This marked the third month of consecutive increases in both categories.

Similar to the rest of the country, Hawaii has seen growth from Korean visitors. Arrivals (15,271 visitors, +38.4%) and total visitor spending ($39.1 million, +38.2%) from this market was very strong in November 2025 compared to the same month last year. For the first 11 months of 2025, arrivals from Korea rose 7.1 percent to 147,070 visitors while total spending increased 4.7 percent to $382.9 million.
