Hawaii Turns Five Amid Confidence and Critics
A five year retrospective on Hawaii since statehood paints a panorama of rapid growth and rising tourism with 500,000 visitors expected this year spending 221 million.

Kaiser foresees one million tourists and population by 1970 as hotel capacity expands from 5,494 rooms in 1958 to over 11,400. Federal defense remains the islands’ major revenue source at about 369 million in 1963.
