Dive Brief:
One year after catastrophic wildfires tore through the Hawaiian island of Maui, the 27-acre Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows has reopened its doors to guests, according to a release obtained by Hotel Dive. 

In tandem with the reopening, the resort has debuted two new food and beverage outlets, in addition to “significant enhancements” across the property. 

Royal Lahaina originally paused its operations to “support the community and house displaced residents,” a spokesperson told Hotel Dive. Though last year’s wildfires caused significant damage to Lahaina hotels — and displaced many residents who worked in the tourism industry — travel to Maui is returning.
