Discontinuing short-term rentals in Maui County could cost up to $91.8 million annually in tax revenue.
Short-term rentals generated $2.2 billion for Maui and $11.3 billion for Hawaii in 2023.
Ending short-term rentals could result in 23,000 job losses in Maui County.
Mayor Bissen's plan to reduce 7,000 vacation rentals could cause significant economic and job losses.
Proposed alternatives include stricter regulations, incentives for long-term rentals, and better enforcement of existing laws.
