The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to diversify Hawaii's economy and support alternative tourism niches by requesting the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) to advertise, promote, and market the local film industry, particularly films made locally by local actors, producers, and writers, and including films depicting Hawaii's cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity and harmony.

The Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and HTA supported the intent of this measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism and Culture that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 38 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
