"For Waikiki businesses, the arrival of 25,000 military personnel for the biennial RIMPAC exercises is a bit of Christmas in July.
"It's definitely had a huge impact," said Chaz Asari, a supervisor at the Billabong store in Waikiki. "Things were really mellow at the beginning of summer, but over the last couple of days, sales have increased by as much as double."
