Advertiser Staff

Kailua's star as a travel destination is rising, while Honolulu's is declining, according to a travel barometer from TripAdviser, a Web site where people can give travel advice and write travel reviews and opinions.

The Needham, Massachusetts-based company used several criteria to find upcoming travel destinations, including analyzing online search activity and postings. Windward O'ahu's Kailua ranked as the second hottest U.S. travel destination for 2007.

The survey found Honolulu, Miami and Acapulco had lost their luster as hot travel destinations.
