Tourism

Today, the island's main industry is tourism. It once had a restaurant managed by Constance Ephelia resort on nearby Mahe, but today it is closed. The island was recently purchased by local entrepreneur Mary Geers who plans to build a resort on the island, but meanwhile she is filming the reality The island of love from Russian channel TNT on the island.
