Two weeks have passed since wildfires erupted on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

The fires destroyed the town of Lahaina, which has been popular with tourists for its historic landmarks.

Authorities have confirmed 115 dead, but only 43 bodies had been identified as of Tuesday.

Lahaina is in the western part of the island, but the eastern part, which escaped the flames, has been losing tourists too.

A restaurant near an airport has seen sales drop 30 percent a day. Its owner is worried about paying rent and workers' wages.

A shop that sells traditional Hawaiian jewelry and art says sales are down nearly 90 percent from last August.

Owner K-la'n Curley-Rohde says, "We want to rebuild Maui. And so we need those resources of people to come and enjoy the island."

Eugene Tian, chief economist at Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, notes that many tourists in Hawaii visit not only on Maui, but also other parts of the state.

He says there will be impacts on other islands, especially the Big Island, Oahu and Kauai.

Tian estimates the state is suffering economic losses of 8.5 million dollars a day.

The US Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, and other authorities say at least 2,200 buildings on Maui have been destroyed or badly damaged by the fires.

Moody's says the economic loss totals 4 to 6 billion dollars.

The research firm expects at least 75 percent of that to be covered by insurance. But it warns that the loss could increase due to post-disaster factors such as high construction labor costs and inflation during the island's prolonged recovery period.
