HI HCR102

Urges the Hawaii Tourism Authority to seek agreements with major mainland television networks and weather channels to include Hawaii's weather in their regular weather reports.

Emphasizes Hawaii's favorable climate with average temperatures of 76 degrees Fahrenheit in Honolulu and 28 inches of annual precipitation as a contrast to harsh mainland winters in cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, and New York.

Proposes that broadcasting Hawaii's weather on mainland networks would cost-effectively promote tourism by influencing viewers enduring bad weather to visit the state year-round.

Requires certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Hawaii Tourism Authority leadership, the Director of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism, and federal NOAA officials.
