Nearly Up To Pre-9\/11 Levels – According To The Annual Travel-Hawaii.com Hawaii Family Vacation Cost Index<\/b><\/p>\n

HONOLULU, HI – May 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Just in time for the busy summer travel season, the results of the annual Travel-Hawaii.com Hawaii Family Vacation Cost Index are released.<\/p>\n

The Travel-Hawaii.com Hawaii Family Vacation Cost Index is projected to increase by nearly 2.5% in 2005. This annual index measures the total dollar amount spent by a typical family of four, for a seven-night Hawaii vacation.<\/p>\n

The index is based on the average total expenditures per day, per person, according to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT). The DBEDT calculations include all monies spent on lodging, car rental, fuel and parking, taxis, shopping and souvenirs, meals, drinks, entertainment, inter-island flights, and activities. This number is then added to an airfare price average, which is based on round-trip airfare between various US mainland cities and Hawaii. <\/p>\n

The projected cost of the average seven-night Hawaii vacation for a family of four is $6998.20 for 2005. While not quite up to pre 9\/11 numbers, this cost increase is consistent with the trend of record setting Hawaii hotel occupancy rates, number of Hawaii visitors, and rising Hawaii hotel and air prices in 2004 and 2005.<\/p>\n

Previous years indexes were:<\/p>\n

\t2004 – $6831.12<\/p>\n

\t2003 – $6591.32<\/p>\n

\t2002 – $6342.04<\/p>\n

\t2001 – $6476.20<\/p>\n

\t2000 – $7259.80<\/p>\n

The Travel-Hawaii.com Hawaii Family Vacation Cost Index represents the “average” spent on Hawaii vacations based on visitor surveys.<\/p>\n

Of course, the actual dollar amount spent on Hawaii vacations could be significantly less. Traveling during off-peak times, staying in moderate accommodations, or purchasing special reduced airfares or hotels could greatly reduce costs.<\/p>\n

Vacation costs could also be significantly higher if traveling during peak times such as summer, spring break, or holidays; staying in luxury accommodations, or purchasing higher cost activities such as spas or golf.<\/p>\n

Hawaii vacation prices continue to rise, and the major economic forecasts project this trend will continue well into the future. <\/p>\n
