The slowdown in Hawai'i's economy isn't stopping most people from taking a summer vacation, according to a survey of American Automobile Association Hawaii members.
AAA Hawaii said 59 percent of people responding to its survey said they would travel this summer, or about the same as last year. The poll also found that 28 percent expect to take fewer trips, while 13 percent plan on traveling more.
Las Vegas topped the destinations listed by members, followed by Maui, Honolulu, Kona, San Francisco, Seattle, Japan, Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego and Kaua'i.
The survey was conducted by e-mail sent to more than 400 AAA Hawaii members between May 13 and June 2.
