Here are some of my thoughts to help “grow” Hawaii:

Hawaii is (and always will be) a place where people meet and gather. That said, it must continue to pursue
its true role, in world affairs, trade , commerce, tourism , etc… Hawaii needs a “WORLD TRADE CENTER” !
Yes, “technology” can and will play a very important role in it. But, without “A CENTER” our Islands will struggle to gain the momentum it needs to grow – long term. Tourism alone is NOT the answer.

The EAST/WEST CENTER (at the UH) can, and should be a part of the WORLD TRADE CENTER, plus all Consulate offices, Tech Companies, Communications, Banking, R & D’s…etc.

If Singapore can achieve “Asia” recognition and success, why not Hawaii in the “Pacific”?

Mahalo, and aloha.
