It's a new beginning for Maui as the state sows the seeds of Maui's future with honor and respect, and its people are ready and engaged to sustainably revitalize the local economy. I'm here. Among them are Makawao's Brittney Alejo-Fischel and Serena Bailey. His small business, Haku Maui, embodies the spirit of resilience and tradition.
Specializing in creating exquisite leis using fresh flowers, leaves, and indigenous materials, Haku Maui stands as a beacon of cultural preservation and entrepreneurship. Mr. Alejo-Fischel and Mr. Bailey expressed their excitement for tourists to return to Makawao and recognized the important role tourism plays in sustaining local businesses like theirs. . For Haku Maui, the importance of lei making goes beyond mere commerce. It represents a cherished art form that is deeply rooted in Hawaiian tradition and serves as a symbol of celebration, honor, and connection. Whether it's a wedding, birthday, or other special occasion, their handcrafted pieces add authenticity and elegance to any event.
In addition to a variety of lei styles, Haku Maui also offers special lei-making workshops, providing visitors with an immersive cultural experience. These workshops not only enrich the tourist experience, but also contribute to the preservation and appreciation of Hawaii's heritage.
As Maui embarks on this journey of rebirth, businesses like Haku Maui embody the island's resilience and determination to thrive in the face of adversity. Supporting local communities and reviving tourism promises a bright future for everyone who calls Maui home.
