WET AND WILD: “Water World” may have bombed at the box office, but the new “Water World” attraction at Universal Studios is giving the tour its best January in years.

NO ALOHA: Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays, a Westlake Village tour operator, said business is up 10% to 15% from a year ago. But travel to the islands hasn’t fully recovered from the drop-off during the Gulf War and the recession. Also, Hawaiian tourism is meeting stiff competition from cruises and other resort areas. “We’re starting out this year with more specials than any year previously,” said company spokesman Ken Phillips.
