My thoughts.  Raise the hotel tax by 2%, not 1%.  No extension of the GET.  Plenty of well off visitors to Hawaii who won't complain a bit.  Only visitors that might are ones coming here on a shoestring but those visitors don't contribute much to our economy. Everyone here complains of how overcrowded Waikiki is.  This will cull out the spenders from the non-spenders.   Cater to the well off as other countries do.
