The Hawaii Tourism Authority says more than 46,000 people flew out of Kahului airport in the immediate days after the fire.
After the devastating fires in Lahaina, there is an unusual moment of silence on Maui. It's a needed pause for some, but too quiet for others. As the extent of the devastation in Lahaina became clear, there was an even clearer call for tourists to stay away from Maui.
Many on other parts of the island worry what will happen without the engine of tourism driving the local economy. State data shows about 1 in 5 of Maui county jobs are related to tourism. Tourists spent $5.7 billion in Maui last year. "Right now we are in a period of mourning, and all of the resources need to be brought to bear to help the people of Lahaina, and upcountry Maui," said Rep. Mazie Hirono.
