Most of West Maui in Hawaii<\/a> could be reopened to tourists as early as next month following August’s deadly wildfires, according to its mayor.<\/p>\n

Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said Monday that all of West Maui, except for burned-out sections of historic Lahaina, will reopen to tourism on Nov. 1. The mayor said the decision to reopen came after talking about it with his Lahaina advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.<\/p>\n

Hawaii suffered the deadliest U.S. wildfire<\/a> in more than a century when a fire raged through Lahaina, killing at least 99 people and destroying more than 2,000 buildings on Aug. 8.<\/p>\n

West Maui is a major contributor to Hawaii\u2019s tourism with about 11,000 hotel rooms, or about half of Maui’s total. Travelers left those hotels in a mass evacuation to avoid the flames.<\/p>\n

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green declared last month that West Maui would officially begin to reopen to tourism<\/a> on Oct. 8 in an effort to bring back badly needed jobs and help the economy recover.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mayor Bissen modified the governor\u2019s declaration that will reopen the county in phases, allowing a small section on the northern edge of West Maui to open first with the rest to follow later.<\/p>\n

Returning tourists to the island has been a point of contention among locals, as some favored the opportunity for the local economy while others said the disaster-stricken region was simply not ready.<\/p>\n

Some residents even drafted a petition opposing the return of tourists.<\/p>\n

Bissen appeared to acknowledge this dissent during a news conference in Lahaina, saying Monday that, while “this isn\u2019t for everyone,” workers are ready to return to their jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who are not prepared to go back to work on Nov. 1 should “continue to seek the help and attention that they need,” Bissen said during the event.<\/p>\n

The mayor also reassured residents who have been staying in West Maui hotels and other short-term accommodations after losing their homes in the fire.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re assured by the Red Cross that their housing will not be in jeopardy,” Bissen said.<\/p>\n

Some properties have already reopened on their own.<\/p>\n
