The largest city and airport in the
Hawaiian Islands, Honolulu acts as a natural gateway to the islands' large
tourism industry, which brings millions of visitors and contributes $10 billion
annually to the local economy. Honolulu's location in the Pacific also makes it
a large business and trading hub, particularly between the East and the West.
Other important aspects of the city's economy include military defense,
research and development, and manufacturing.
