Unlike past building booms, this one has jumped from bustling Oahu (the island on which Honolulu is located) to the rest of the archipelago. On Hawaii Island, largest in the group, a $2,000,000 shopping center will rise near Hilo and a 150-room Hilton hotel at Kailua-Kona. On Maui, work has begun on a seven-story, 100-room addition to the Wailuku Hotel. The building boom and the prospect of more tourists also aid other industries. Four new mattress factories have been opened, and Schlitz is about to build a 100,000-barrels-a-year brewery near...

...they pumped $93 million in loans into the city's hotel industry. Two new hotels-the Otani, with a revolving cocktail lounge on its roof, and the Tokyo Prince -boast 1,600 rooms between them, to add to the facilities of the huge new Okura and Tokyo Hilton hotels. In addition, eight ships will anchor in Tokyo Harbor to provide floating accommodations. Other tourists will be housed at Kakone, the coolly beautiful mountain resort 58 miles west of the city. Improvements to the ryokan, Japan's traditional inns, have added 4,000 more rooms to the total...
