Hamilton Island Earns Google Top Slot




Great news for Hamilton Island who have come out on top as the 'most popular travel destination' in Google Australia's 2011 Zeitgeist list! And if that wasn't good enough, the category also included international destinations, making Hamilton Island the top international travel destination search term used by Australians. 



Hamilton Island's online marketing manager, Bernard O'Keefe said “We are delighted with Google’s rating which can be attributed to the Oatley family’s AU$300 million investment in Hamilton Island, the island being located at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, our digital marketing strategy, strong brand and PR campaigns such as Tourism Queensland’s Best Job in the World and Oprah’s visit, and the hardworking team at Hamilton Island...However we won’t rest on our laurels, being a top search term is just the start ...For example, recently completed and upcoming online projects include: continual content creation, launching mobile sites and eight foreign language websites, re-launching the current portfolio of websites, social media initiatives and smartphone apps.”


As well as Oprah, other celebrities to have visited the beautiful Hmailton Island have included Naomi Watts, Yasmin Le Bon, Dannii Minogue, Toni Collette, Mischa Barton, Sir Ian Botham, Gordon Ramsay, Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso and BBC Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson and James May to name a few...not bad going!


So watch this space for more exciting developments from the team at Hamilton Island, and huge congratulations to everyone who worked towards this exciting achievement.
