One of the themes we have been harping on has been the increase in Canadian visitors to Maui. Well, this trend can only help.

  The Canadian dollar climbed to a 30-year high against the U.S. currency yesterday, continuing a trend that has put more spending money in the pockets of Canadian tourists visiting Hawai'i. Canada's currency advanced as high as 95.53 U.S. cents yesterday, pushing past the 95 U.S. cents mark for the first time since May 1977. It has risen 10.8 percent this year.

That means that this year alone, Mai has become 10% cheaper to visit, and that Maui real estate has become 10% cheaper for Canadian buyers.
