$120 million a year is peanuts.  That is not where the problem is.  The costs to ride it will simply double within a few years, and the GET will be there to cover it.  The bed taxes need to go way up based on the rev-par of the hotels.  If the hotels are maxed out and times are Ok, this will help a great deal.  The tourists will simply pay it as the opportunity to travel gets squeezed into Hawaii based on world-events.  Hawaii is a safe haven and has location to assist in this, as well as good security vs other places.  So the $120 million can be collected easily.  A $5 per person increase in the bed tax will cover that easily based on the tourist numbers alone in Waikiki.
