The Hawaiian Island Travel Network has released its new 2023 guide to the culture and history of Hawaii.
Kailua-Kona, United States - November 10, 2023 /PressCable/ —
This latest guide differs from other recent publications on the site in that it seeks to provide a broad overview of the Hawaiian island chain as a whole. It covers the pre-colonial history of the islands, the downfall of the monarchy, and the development of Hawaii as it exists in the modern day.

The Hawaiian Island Travel Network has published its new guide to contextualize the many enduring traditions still practiced in Hawaii, and to help visitors respect these traditions during their visit. For example, the guide traces the legacy of the hula dance, the traditional flower lei, and the luau - the authentic Hawaiian occasion known for its dancing, food, and drink.
The guide begins by discussing the original Polynesian culture which settled on the island over 1000 years ago, traces of which still remain today. This culture, as the guide explains, saw the rise of the Hawaiian language and of the first kings to rule the island, descendants of the House of Kamehameha.
The author then goes on to explain how that monarchical system crumbled in the face of colonization, and how the takeover of the islands by outside forces eventually led to the induction of Hawaii as the 50th US state.
While this guide presents the storied history of Hawaii in a warts-and-all fashion, it also encourages tourists to participate in the rich history and culture that still thrives on the island. Many of the traditions that have their roots in that original Polynesian civilization still exist today in some form, and foreigners are encouraged to participate in them, albeit respectfully.
For those wishing to learn more about the islands’ long and complicated past, the guide lists a wide variety of museums and cultural institutions that visitors to Hawaii can enjoy. Many authentic cultural opportunities also still exist, such as traditional hog roasts and tribal dances. The guide's author hopes to help travelers separate these from the more modernized versions which have also sprung up recently to attract tourists.
This guide joins many others on the Hawaiian Island Travel Network, which was established to help tourists locate the best opportunities for lodging, food, and fun on the islands. Interested parties can read this recently published cultural guide alongside travel resources of all kinds at the link below.
