Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 15O words.

The two maps illustrate the transformation of a small island following the development of tourist facilities.

Before the construction, the island was completely natural, featuring a beach on the west coast, a few palm trees scattered throughout the area, and no buildings, roads, or man-made structures.

After the development, the island has been significantly changed to support tourism. Two accommodation areas have been built—one to the west and another to the east of the island. These are connected by a circular footpath that also links to a central reception area. To the north of the reception, a restaurant has been constructed and is accessible by a vehicle track that runs from the southern part of the island.

Additionally, a pier has been added to the southern shoreline, allowing boats to bring tourists to the island. From the pier, the vehicle track leads directly to the reception and restaurant. The beach on the western side of the island is now used for swimming and is connected to the nearest accommodation by a footpath.

Overall, the island has been developed to include multiple tourist facilities while keeping some natural areas, such as the palm trees in the eastern part, untouched.
