The document analyzes the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for a coastal island's tourism industry. It identifies natural assets like beaches and mangroves as strengths, and lack of infrastructure like roads and utilities as weaknesses. Opportunities include potential for tourism, agriculture, and investors. Threats involve decreasing tourism, climate change, and lack of development priority. Recommendations pair strengths with opportunities (e.g. promoting agriculture) and weaknesses with opportunities (e.g. street lights project) to develop the island as a tourism destination.
