The two maps below show an island, before and after the construction of

some tourist facilities. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting


the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagrams illustrate some changes to a small island which has been
developed for tourism.
It is clear that the island has changed considerably with the introduction of
tourism, and six new features can be seen in the second diagram. The main
developments are that the island is accessible and visitors have somewhere to
stay.
Looking at the maps in more detail, we can see that small huts have been built
to accommodate visitors to the island. The other physical structures that have
been added are a reception building, in the middle of the island, and a restaurant
to the north of the reception. Before these developments, the island was
completely bare apart from a few trees.
As well as the buildings mentioned above, the new facilities on the island
include a pier, where boats can dock. There is also a short road linking the pier
with the reception and restaurant, and footpaths connect the huts. Finally, there
is a designated swimming area for tourists off a beach on the western tip of the
island.
