A DROP IN TOURISM AND HOW TO BRING IT BACK, following the volcano disaster, is the subject of a Big Island Video News story this evening. David Corrigan and Sherry Bracken report on the Island of Hawaiʻi Visitors Bureau's projection earlier this year, predicting that this island would host 1,974,464 visitors, an increase of 12 percent. These visitors would spend $2.71 billion, an increase of 13 percent. The number of visitor days on the island would be more than 14 million, an increase of 10 percent. Visitor expenditures per day would also rise. Some 1,331,727 direct seats flying into Kona and 60,603 flying into Hilo were also projected - another hefty increase. Ross Birch, executive director of the Visitors Bureau, said that more visitors would create higher prices for hotel rooms and more income to the island.

     After the volcanic activity began, Birch said there is no reason for visitors to refrain from coming to the island. However, the cancellation of cruise ships calling on Kona and Hilo, and cancellation of accommodations reservations through summer, were having an impact.
     With most of the state's most visited destination - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park - mostly closed during this volcanic activity, public officials are talking about encouraging a lava experience. In addition to helicopter rides and tour boats, the creation of safe viewing sites on the ground are being discussed by county, state, and federal government.

cancel, misunderstanding that the lava is affecting a small

     Meanwhile, Volcano village business is hardest hit. Kīlauea Lodge office manager Janet Coney told Big Island Video News, "Many visitors calling to cancel have the vision that the island is getting covered by lava or ash, and there is a lot of misunderstanding." She called for better education of visitors regarding the area the lava has covered in relation to the entire island. She said the loss of businesses first hits the hospitality industry, but the losses trickle down and will eventually impact the mom and pop operations, as people lose income from their jobs.

PIZZA BRADDAHS LANDS WITH WINGS, in Waiʻōhinu. The food truck opened its windows on Wednesday, June 20 in the parking lot of Kauahaʻao Congregational Church - along Hwy 11, on the corner of Pinao Street and Kamaoa Road. Residents of the area, some having worked up an appetite on their walk over, eagerly awaited freshly baked pizzas and chicken wings, while they spoke in excitement about the much-needed new business, mere months after the closing of Waiʻōhinu's only gas station and convenience stop, Wong Yuen Store.

     Judy and Jason Waitley, along with their children, own and operate Pizza Braddahs. Judy said they “chose to open the food truck in Waiʻōhinu because we wanted to bring something different to the community.” The Waitleys moved to Kaʻū in Feburary 2018 from Idaho. Judy said their favorite thing about Kaʻū is “the amazing people in the community that have welcomed us with open arms.” Jason added that he loves the “atmosphere and friendliness of the community,” and believes the food truck to be a “good way to get to know the community.”
     When asked what they look forward to most in their Ka‘ū future, Jason responded with, “Growing a positive vibe and planting our roots,” to which Judy added, “for future generations of Waitley’s.”

     Before moving to Hawaiʻi, the family owned and operated a music and homeschooling supply store, and a homestyle and American comfort food restaurant in Northern Idaho, said the Waitley’s. Prior to opening Pizza Braddahs, they made and sold home-baked goods, such as muffins and breads - with gluten free options - at the Nā‘ālehu Farmers’ Market, in front of Ace Hardware.
     Pizza Braddahs will launch a Keiki Reading Rewards program this fall, after school resumes. The aim is to encourage literacy in all keiki, 6th grade and under, in the Kaʻū district, including homeschoolers and preschoolers. Participants will read at least 1.5 hours per week to earn their monthly reward: a slice of pizza and a drink. Pizza Braddahs wants “to be able to give back to the community in as many ways as possible, and supporting our keiki is just one of the many ways we plan to do so,” said Judy.

     The food truck business is looking for musicians from around the island who would like to showcase their talents on Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “We want to offer opportunities in which our community can come together, enjoy each others company, and of course chow down on great food and listen to great music,” said Judy. She added that their family believes “the more that our community comes together, even for nights like this, the stronger our community becomes. So for us, it is all about bringing people together; music and food are great ways to do that!”
Pizza Braddahs is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and Sunday, 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. As an aextra convenience to those living within a five-mile radius of the Church, Pizza Braddahs can deliver. In addition to choose-your-own toppings on 16” pizzas, pizza by the slice, mild or spicy BBQ wings, and hot Buffalo wings, the food truck also offers gluten free pizzas, vegan cheese, canned sodas and juice, and bottled water. For delivery, or to perform on Saturdays, call 756-8280 during business hours. See their Facebook at facebook.com/Pizza-Braddahs-164001504290293.
