Answer

The diagram shows an island that is approximately 900 meters wide and 300 meters across before and after its development into a tourist resort.

Before being developed the island was unpopulated apart from a few palm trees and had a beach on the northwest side of the island.

After development, the island has a pier and reception centre built on its southern shore. In addition, a number of small sailing boats are available for transport or leisure. On the western side of the pier and reception centre is a small park that also overlooks the sea. On the opposite (north) side of the island is a combined restaurant and leisure centre.

On the western end of the island are 8 huts that are close to the beach and surrounded by trees. The eastern end of the island is protected by trees and contains a group of six huts and a children’s playground. This area allows family groups and couples to have separate areas so they do not disturb each other
