Travelers arrive in Hawaii everyday from locations all over the world. Some farther than others, but as soon as the plane lands on one of the islands, visitors quickly become part of Hawaii. Just the excitement of being in Hawaii is enough for some, and understanding how the residents of the islands operate is a big part of visiting the Hawaiian Islands. After all, Hawaii is home to many, and maintaining the beauty of the islands is necessary.
Throughout the years, travel has increased drastically to Hawaii, and with the bump in travel, the islands have seen a big shift. With everything the islands have been through, one thing has remained constant, and it is the most important thing: the Aloha Spirit.
Aloha is what encompasses the islands and what the islands are made of. It is important to the people that call the islands home, whether native or new residents and acts as a driving force for everything in Hawaii. Aloha is respect, love, gratitude, and trust, and is practiced at all times by residents.
Simple acts and gestures go very far, and ensure that Hawaii maintains its identity. Smiling and giving a wave or a shaka, stopping and letting pedestrians cross the street, throwing trash away, and making sure the islands are in better shape than when prior to your arrival all go a long way and help to keep the Aloha Spirit alive and well. Simply put, the Aloha Spirit is kindness and doing the right thing.
The islands will bless you with an incredible vacation if you treat the islands with respect, show love to the locals, and practice the Aloha Spirit while visiting. Hawaii is an incredible place, and by practicing the customs of locals, your trip will be filled with the Aloha Spirit and you will have the time of your life. Help to make the islands the best place on the planet and keep the Aloha in Hawaii alive during your vacation.
