If you’ve ever been to Kauai you can understand why Travel + Leisure Magazine named it the best destination in Hawaii and second-best island destination in the world. No wonder the real estate over there is so expensive, as it is on Oahu, especially when it comes to vacation rentals, time shares and such. The fantastic Galapagos Islands took the world’s number one slot—and that’s not surprising either. All in all, this news should be good for the kauai vacation rentals which like it;s counterpart on Oahu, helps to drive the overall real estate market and bring in a lot of revenue to the state as a whole.
The Kauai Visitors Bureau was more than happy to herald the news today following the announcement on this morning’s “Today Show” when Travel + Leisure presented the outcome of its yearly World’s Best Awards, which are the result of reader surveys and predicated on five traits that include natural attractions, activities and sights, restaurants and food, people, and value.
The story appeared on the Travel Video News’s website under their ‘The World On The Web’ column. TVN called Travel + Leisure Magazine “one of the world’s most highly regarded…(overall).”
Oahu is still a major destination for tourists, esecially Waikiki. Incidentially if you need a good Oahu Real estate agent take a look at this Sotheby’s website.Sue Kanoho, executive director of the Kaua’i Visitors Bureau, was quoted by TVN as saying, “People are touched by the serenity of Kauai…….” For it’s part, the Travel Video News noted that Kauai is known for its fabulous hiking, mountain tubing, kayaking, snorkeling, horseback riding, ATV adventures, aerial zipline rides, and helicopter and boat tours. They reported that golf is one of the main attractions in Kaua’I, and that practically all of the island’s golf clubs and affiliated resorts are rated among the best in their class.
Travel Video News also reported that last month The Grand Hyatt Kaua’i Resort & Spa and the Kaua’i Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach were both listed on Conde Nast Traveler’s esteemed list of “Top 80 Golf Resorts,” and that Celebrated Living placed the Princeville Prince Course on its Top-20 U.S. Golf Course list.
Mike McCartney, president and CEO of Hawai’i Tourism Authority was quoted as saying, “Congratulations to the Garden Island…….” Oahu is also big on that particular list as is Mauai.
The Kauai Visitors Bureau claims that Kaua’i golfers are more than satisfied with their experiences on the Garden Isle. But that is just a bonus, in my opinion. It’s the quaint, relaxing, pristine environment, the ethereal beauty, and the overall unspoiled and unpretentious character that people find so unforgettable.
