Maui is very much welcoming visitors. The fire largely impacted the town and its immediate surroundings; Kaanapali and Kapalua to the north and Wailea in South Maui were unaffected. While there is still much to do, there are already signs of rebirth: Aloha Mixed Plate and Malu Tavern have reopened along the water on the north end of Front Street, and Safeway and other shops at the Lahaina Cannery Mall have also reopened. Maui needs visitors to help support the rebirth of the community. When you visit Maui, your dollars help support local jobs and services. So, yes, please come to Maui - it's still as beautiful and full of Aloha as ever, and responsible tourism is helping fuel Lahaina's full, long-term recovery.
