Honolulu's taxes for travelers remain low


Advertiser Staff

Honolulu remains one of the least expensive cities of the nation’s top 50 travel destinations, at least when it comes to taxes, a new study says.
A report released by the National Business Travel Association Foundation shows Honolulu ranks third in terms of overal travel tax burden behind Portland, Oregon and Detroit.

The study found travelers pay $22.55 a day in Honolulu in general taxes on sales along with hotel room taxes and other taxes for car rentals and meals. That compared to $21.45 last year when Honolulu’s travel tax burden was the lowest of the top 50 cities.
