After initial pleas for people to avoid visiting Maui, Hawaiian tourism officials are now encouraging vacationers and sightseers to come again. While the area affected by wildfires is still off-limits, local businesses spared from the disaster say they have seen a steep decline in customers and worry for the economic future of the community. Hotels and airlines are offering discounted rates to lure wary tourists back to the island.
