Hawaii

In this last chapter of the textbook, Hawaii (like California) has an entire chapter dedicated summarizing many qualities of the state. For example, tourism, climate, agriculture and other qualities are described as thriving contributors to the state.
Atlanta has significantly thrived off tourism, much like Hawaii because of its unique topography and its chain of islands has contributed to growth in the economy. Not to mention its beautiful weather and climate makes it a top tourist attraction and growth for international business. Here is a picture of the chain of islands existing in Hawaii and of a volcano erupting.

Not only is Hawaii a beautiful state with many tourism attractions. It is also unique for its diverse ethnicities. The major ethnicities in Hawaii are White, Japanese, and Filipino. Although there are other ethnicities present in the state, these three dominate the population of Hawaii.
The agriculutre in Hawaii was dominated by the production of sugar and pineapple. More than 30% of the labor accounted for agricultural work and labor in plantations. Hawaii was a major exporter of sugar. Later in the decades, cattle ranching became a part of agriculture and thousands of acres are taken up with ranches.


In comparison with Atlanta, Hawaii has a different climate and features not present in Hawaii. Although, Hawaii has volcanoes and islands. Atlanta is still considered a growing metropolitan state.
I hope you all have enjoyed my blog.
