Molokai The Friendly Isle
National Geographic Traveler magazine and National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations conduct annual Destination Scorecard surveys, aided by George Washington University. A panel of 522 experts in sustainable tourism and destination stewardship are consulted to review such conditions on 111 selected human-inhabited islands and archipelagos around the world. Molokai Island is ranked # 10 among the 111 island destinations of the world according to all of the survey factors assessed by the panel. The survey cited Molokai Island's pristine breathtaking tropical landscape, environmental stewardship, rich and deep Hawaiian traditions (the island's mana), and visitor-friendly culture. The nearest top ranking neighbor islands, Hawaii (the Big Island), Kauai, Maui and Oahu, ranked #s 50, 61, 81 and 104, respectively. For comparison, the island of Tahiti ranked # 57.
