First S Koreans Arrive With New Visas

Aloha Kakou:

The first group of Koreans to enter Hawaii under the new visa waiver arrived in Honolulu yesterday. Visitors from South Korea under the new program now need only a passport with a smart chip embedded in it.

While Waikiki will be the initial beneficiary of the relaxation of the visa rules, with any luck South Korean visitors will soon want to visit Maui as well.
