Hawaii's strongest earthquake in two decades had little impact on tourism, though Big Island Mayor Harry Kim estimated that as many as 3,000 people were evacuated from three hotels in the big island. Some evacuees were taken to a gymnasium.
The impact on tourism was limited in part because this is the low season. Airports continued to operate after the weekend quake though some flights were cancelled.
Most hotels returned almost immediately to regular operations.
The 6.6 magnitude quake caused some blackouts and landslides, but there were no reports of fatalities. Big Island officials said a survey of emergency rooms showed 25 people suffered minor injuries.
