HAYMAN ISLAND TO BE FEATURED IN ABC NEWS GLOBAL EVENT
MARKING EARTH DAY 2007

The eyes of America will focus on Hayman this weekend as ABC News broadcasts live back to the US from the celebrated Australian private island destination in a series of programs, ‘Planet Earth 2007: Seven Ways to Help Save the World’.

At 10.00pm on Friday night (20 April), ABC News’ ‘20/20’ will mark Earth Day 2007 with a live cross to Hayman appearing during the ground-breaking US broadcast.

‘Planet Earth 2007: Seven Ways to Help Save the World’ will take viewers to each continent to witness key environmental challenges facing the world and present solutions from the chosen destinations.

As part of the coverage, Hayman will feature in a report on what is being done environmentally in Australia.

ABC News’ Bill Weir will be speaking from Hayman with Diane Sawyer anchoring the special live from New York. He will discuss Hayman’s direct involvement in the preservation of the Great Barrier Reef through a series of projects with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and will also report on ways in which desalination plants, such as the one operating on Hayman, may be the answer to water shortages.

Then, at 11.30pm on ABC on Friday night, Bill Weir will report live from Hayman back to ‘Nightline’ where he will speak with anchors, Cynthia McFadden, Terry Moran and Martin Bashir.

On Saturday (21 April), Bill Weir will be speaking live from Hayman during ‘Good Morning America’ Weekend Edition.

“Many Americans are saying they want to do what they can to slow the effects of global warming and this broadcast will offer concrete solutions that could be achieved on a global level as well as a smaller level inside our viewers’ homes,” said ABC News Co-Executive Producer, John Green.

“In selecting a location from Australia, Hayman is ideal for its proximity to the reef and the proactive support the resort is providing for current and future Great Barrier Reef preservation projects,” said Mr Green.

Hayman’s website is featuring a dedicated page www.hayman.com.au/planetearth in recognition of the resort’s involvement with ABC News and ‘Planet Earth 2007: Seven Ways to Help Save the World.”

To book a stay at Hayman Island, please have your travel agent contact Romantic Planet Vacations at 866-247-8123 or travel@romanticplanet.ca

Malaysia’s Low-Cost Airline Takes Off
Monday, 16/04/2007

Low-cost carrier Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, has started commercial operations with ticket prices as low as $2.60. Its first passengers flew out of the island resort of Penang, officials said. Firefly, Malaysia’s second low-cost airline after AirAsia, will use two 50-seater Fokker Friendship aircraft.

Initially, the airline will fly from its base in Penang to the Malaysian cities of Kota Baru, Kuala Terengganu, Kuantan and Langkawi. From April 13, the airline will also fly daily to the Thai resort islands of Phuket and Koh Samui.

The airline has offered 2,000 free one-way tickets, and more may be handed out if there is demand, Leong said. Passengers have to pay taxes and surcharges. Normal ticket prices start from $2.60 for national flights and from $10.40 to Thailand.

Firefly is a unit of national carrier Malaysian Airline System Bhd., which has been struggling to make profits while competing with AirAsia for short-haul regional routes. AirAsia, which started in late 2001 and revolutionized air travel in Southeast Asia, services some 15 destinations in Malaysia and about 20 in the region, according to the company’s Web site.

Top ten beaches in Hawaii according to the locals
An informal survey polls local Hawaiians to find the top ten beaches for Hawaii vacations. With 750 miles of coastline spread over several islands and beaches, some of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches have been well kept secrets of the locals -- until now!

Lanikai Beach is reef protected with velvety white sands, making it an ideal spot for families with children to relax with a priceless view of the Mokulua Islands.

Sunset Beach, with its dangerous waves, invites surfers to hang ten at one of the best surfing sites in the world. Memorable sunsets give this beach its name.

Waimanalo, where ranches meet untouched beaches nestled between lush valleys, was one of the backdrops for "Baywatch Hawaii."

Hanalei, a great place to learn how to surf (seasonal), has breathtaking secluded beaches with a back drop of waterfalls and misty mountain peaks making it one of the most peaceful places in Hawaii.

Haena beaches, including Ke's, are beautiful and perfect for snorkeling and cooling down after hiking the scenic Napali Coast.

Poipu has ideal year-round conditions for body boarders and surfers, as well as a protected area for parents and children to play and snorkel.

Wailea offers five beaches with over two miles of smooth, golden sand. With its exclusive shops and some of the most luxurious condos on Maui, it is an oasis for discerning travelers.

Makena, known as the Big Beach, is tucked in a remote neighborhood and one of the best beaches in Maui.

Hanauma Bay, on the south side of Oahu, is a great spot for visitors to rent snorkeling equipment and view coral, sea turtles and tropical fish in the ancient remains of an extinct volcanic crater.

Hapuna Beach State Park is a stretch of white sandy beach amid swaying palm trees that invites snorkeling, boogey boarding and sun bathing.
