The region’s relatively pristine coastline presents an opportunity for the establishment of large scale integrated resorts or even intimate boutique resorts presenting the best of world class features and a distinctive local flavour.

The focus on mainland-coastal tourism will also ensure that the delicate balance of the island’s ecosystem, marine life and coral is not adversely impacted by human activity, preserving the pristine beauty of these islands for generations to come.

For this to happen, the ECER has identified a number of strategic locations for new integrated tourism resort development, as well as modest-scaled incremental resorts. These locations were selected for their natural beauty and long term future potential for accommodating greater number of visitors.
