Shippers: Are you reaching three lucrative U.S. markets?

Hawaii, Alaska and Guam are all popular with tourists. During the global coronavirus pandemic, all three imposed restrictions on incoming travelers and the hospitality industry. Fortunately, Hawaii, Alaska and Guam have experienced very mild community spread compared to the continental U.S. and are looking forward to rapid economic recovery when restrictions are fully lifted.
Here’s a snapshot of Hawaii, Alaska and Guam markets:

Hospitality, construction and education are the largest industries. The U.S. military has Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Navy bases in Hawaii.
Alaska
Alaska, population 731,000, is known for its can-do attitudes. It’s pioneering, energetic spirit is reflected in the state’s low median age, 34.9. Like Hawaii, Alaska’s median annual income of ($74,346) far exceeds the U.S. average. Alaska’s economy is driven by the hospitality, energy and construction industries. Alaska also has a strong military presence.
