Hawaii’s government announced it will pay tourists to leave if they do no abide by the state’s two-week quarantine if they arrive.

The Hawaii Tourism Authority, which normally welcomes travelers to the state, said it has set aside $25,000 to offset costs to send tourists out of the state. Outbound flights are being organized by the nonprofit Visitor Aloha Society.
