Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism
The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism was established in 1963 by merger of the existing Department of Economic Development and Department of Planning and Research into the Department of Planning and Economic Development. Renamed the Department of Business and Economic Development effective July 1, 1987, upon the transfer of the department's traditional planning function to the Office of State Planning, and to reflect a change in focus in the department from planning to actively fostering a healthy
business environment. Renamed again as the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, effective July 1, 1990, to highlight the importance of tourism in the Hawaii
economy and the department's new role in promoting and marketing the tourism industry.
