“This week, Hawaii began accepting travelers from Japan as well as the United States with a pre-flight negative COVID-19 test, which should increase tourism and gasoline demand,” said Liane Sumida, AAA Hawaii general manager. “However, worldwide oil prices remain low, so we have not seen significant price increases at the pump.”
