And anything that would cause conflict in other countries is usually handled with the phrase “It’s okay” here.

Newlyweds come here for honeymoons and weddings, businessmen take advantage of the offshore zone, celebrities come to spend a weekend on their island, and travelers come from all over the world to enjoy an extreme or lazy beach vacation.
