Analysis from LeeAnn Prescott, Hitwise director of research:

"As the weather warms and the school year winds down, parents begin planning family getaways. The market share of US visits to the websites of amusement parks such as Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Point and Geyser Falls Water Park jumped in the rankings from April to May 2007. Camping was also on the minds of travelers, with the market share of visits to KOA.com increasing 40% from April to May 2007 to achieve a rank of number 95 among all travel sites."
