Voyages offers second Best Job in the World

SYDNEY - With just seven days to go before the winner of Tourism Queenslandââ¬â¢s Best Job in the World campaign is announced, Voyages believes it has the Second Best Job in the World on Lizard Island.

Voyages Lizard Island is recruiting for a resort general manager, a role that has been held by just a few lucky people over the years.

Tourism Queensland has attracted thousands of applications for its offer of a six-month caretakerââ¬â¢s stint on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef.

Said a spokeswoman for Voyages, ââ¬ÅâœFar from being a short-term contract for just six months, this is a real job, with real career progression ââ¬' and yes, a lovely two-bedroom house overlooking the Great Barrier Reef.ââ¬~

Guy Heywood, Voyages group general manager Voyages Signature Properties said, ââ¬ÅâœAs far as offices go, this isnââ¬â¢t bad. And if the next weekââ¬â¢s winner of Tourism Queenslandââ¬â¢s campaign claims to have the Best Job, then this must surely come a close second.ââ¬~

Keen snorkellers and divers should apply ââ¬' Lizard Island has some of the best diving in the world, with a variety of outstanding dive sites including the world-famous Cod Hole.

Interested candidates for the Second Best Job in the World should contact Voyages on:

  Who at Voyages could be dumb enough to come out with this bit of PR that suggests Lizard Island comes second to Hamilton Island. They are looking for a manager for an upscale resort, not a backpacking blogger. Riding on the coat-tails of a successful viral campaign is not the way to go.
