Tourism is the largest industry in Hawaii and has a broad effect on nearly every aspect of the state’s economy.

Hawaii also has a vibrant restaurant industry that often works hand-in-hand with the tourism industry.

The health care beat, while secondary, is important to the Islands, especially with the launch of the state’s first medical marijuana dispensaries coming up.

PBN reporters provide hands-on support of our social media campaigns and participate in all PBN events.
