Forbes Rates Fraser Island Sexy
SYDNEY, August 29, 2005. Fraser Island has been named one of the World's Sexiest Islands 2005 by the prestigious American business magazine Forbes. It is the only Australian island in the list.
The list says Fraser Island's "enormous sand dunes provide plenty of space and privacy for frolicking on the beach" and it names Kingfisher Bay Resort as the place to stay.
Kingfisher Bay Resort managing director Gary Smith said the World Heritage-listed island was popular with American tourists. "The American Discovery Channel has been running programs this year naming Kingfisher Bay Resort as Australia's Best Beach Resort and Fraser Island as the World's Best Beach. Previously Conde Nast Traveller readers voted Fraser Island one of the World's Top 10 Tropical Islands for three years running."
The list of the world's sexiest islands places Fraser Island fifth and includes Bora Bora in French Polynesia; Capri in Italy; Corsica in France; Elba in Italy; Grenada in The Caribbean; Ibiza in Spain; Koh Samui in Thailand; Mahe in The Seychelles; Paros in Greece; Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands; Santorini in Greece and Sardinia in Italy.
