All but the worst-hit areas of Maui will reopen to tourism on November 1 – less than three months after the Hawaiian island was hit by the deadliest US wildfire in more than a century.

Maui County mayor Richard Bissen said all but the burned-out sections of Lahaina will reopen after discussions with his advisory team, the Red Cross and other partners.
