Waikīkī – Kauhale O Hoʻokipa Scenic Byway – Preparation of Nomination, Application and Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan

Waikīkī – Kauhale O Hoʻokipa Scenic Byway runs through the core of Waikīkī. Literally, ‘Waikīkī – Kauhale O Hoʻokipa’ translates to ‘Waikīkī – Home of Hospitality.’ But, this context of “Home” can expand and also represent the community of Waikīkī. Through the telling of stories of Waikīkī (and a goal of the establishment of a Scenic Byway (and dream of NaHHA founder, George Kanahele,)) we help to restore Hawaiianness to Waikīkī in a positive, productive and respectful way. The sense of place of Waikīkī lies within these stories, under the overarching contexts of “Aloha” and “Hoʻokipa” (Hospitality.)
