Abstract
In many tourist areas special taxes are placed on hotel room rentals. Such a tax has numerous proponents in Hawaii, where the tax is viewed as a potentially significant source of revenue. This study examines both the impact of a hotel room tax on visitor behavior and the potential revenue which could be generated from such a tax.Keywords
