Abstract

The increase in tourism and population in highly touristic places produces an enormous influence on the resources of the destinations, both economically and environmentally. In general, the indicators that are used to monitor the number of tourists in a destination measure the flow of visitors but do not pay attention to the specific daily situation. The arrival of large cruise ships notably increases the pressure on island destinations. The human pressure indicator (HPI) makes it possible to know the instantaneous situation of the population in highly touristic places, and especially on islands, including both tourists and residents. In this work, we have implemented a new HPI model that includes the influence of cruise ships arriving at islands and we apply its study to the Hawaiian Islands, where we evaluate the real pressure exerted on them, so that we can appreciate the influence of cruise ships on them. The index can be used to better manage destination capacity and resources. The article describes the calculation methodology and the conclusions reached with the application.
