The maps provided illustrate the transformations of Paradise Island from the past to the present. Overall, it is evident that there have been several significant improvements, including accommodation, tourist facilities, and refreshment areas. Additionally, these transformations aimed to develop the island from a site primarily for scientific research into an attractive destination for tourists.
One of the major changes to the island is that the narrow beach in the northwest has been opened up for swimming. In the southwest, there is now a pier that has been expanded from a very small structure capable of accommodating just a few boats to a larger T-shaped pier designed to welcome cruise ships. In terms of updates to the interior area of Paradise Island, the research station and the coconut trees that were previously located on the left-hand side have been transformed into a hotel complex and a swimming pool.
Further modifications can be seen on the right-hand side of the island, where the former coconut forest in the center has been cleared to make way for a restaurant and a BBQ area. Additionally, the natural spring in the top right-hand corner of the island has undergone no changes compared to the past, while the area directly below it has been developed into a café. Another notable change is that the space in the northeast has been turned into a scenic viewpoint near the rocks, and a cycle path has been constructed around the island to connect various locations.
