      • Zone 3 :Spread over 52 sq km of pristine forest.It shall be a nature zone, additional categorized into three districts: an unique forest resort, a nature therapeutic district and a nature retreat, all on the western coast.
  • Transport Development:
  • Worldwide airport able: To deal with all varieties of plane is central to the plan as a global airport is vital for growth.
  • Solely jetty: on the island might be expanded and a marina might be developed subsequent to the tourist entertainment district.
  •  Ring Highway: A 100 km greenfield ring highway might be constructed parallel to the shoreline from east to west and might be supplemented with a mass fast transit community with stations at common intervals.
