A tropical beach scene with a colorful signpost pointing towards various countries. There is a thatched-roof hut in the background surrounded by lush palm trees. Crystal-clear blue water and rocky coastline create a picturesque seaside atmosphere.

A street scene with people walking, some in swimwear, indicating a casual, leisure atmosphere. The street is lined with trees providing shade, and there are establishments such as a hairdresser and cafes with outdoor seating. A large sign promotes excursions to tourist destinations. The presence of families suggests a vacation setting.
