Australia may be home to the world's largest coral reef system, but our islands don't rate on TripAdvisor. <\/p>\n
Australia has failed to make a list of the world's top 10 islands, based on reviews and opinions on the popular travel website. <\/p>\n
TripAdvisor has announced the winners of its 2014 Travellers' Choice Islands Awards, with Ambergris Caye in Belize being voted the best. <\/p>\n
In second place is Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos, followed by Bora Bora in French Polynesia. <\/p>\n
The awards are in their second year and recognise more than 100 islands globally. Along with the world's best, the awards also rate the top 10 islands in the South Pacific, Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, South America, and the United States. <\/p>\n
Australia fared better in the South Pacific list, taking seventh spot with Norfolk Island and ninth place with Kangaroo Island. <\/p>\n
Bora Bora was rated the best, followed by Aitutaki in the Cook Islands and Moorea in French Polynesia. <\/p>\n
Glen Buffett, General Manager of Norfolk Island Tourism, says it's great to see travellers sharing their positive experiences about Norfolk online. <\/p>\n
\"It's the diversity in nature, history and activities on Norfolk Island that makes it so unique,\" Buffett said in a statement on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
South Australian Tourism Commission Chief Executive Rodney Harrex says the award for Kangaroo Island is credit to the destination's beauty, experiences and people. <\/p>\n
