Waikiki is a tourist attraction located on the south of Oahu in Hawaii. Its tourist development started in the 1901. During the pioneer stage locales showed interest in the Waikiki beach as a day trip location for the family entertainment due to the natural beauty of the view (natural attraction). The relief was swampy and it was impossible to build on it to increase the tourist growth. In 1922 the Ala Wai canal was build to get rid of the swamps and to build houses. Soon after the Royal Hawaiian hotel (1927) was build and a tramp was build to Waikiki for easy access. The Royal Hawaiian hotel and the Moana hotel were build on the water front to meet tourists demands and provide them with a beautiful view of the ocean. That was the beginning of the spatial variation that accrues now. Through out the years the number of tourist rapidly increased and same with the number of hotels and other accommodations in Waikiki.
