Into the Spotlight

Cara Libro has a unique problem: Exports are taxed by 20 percent by the British, cutting into the income you’ve gotten used to so far.

However, the tourism industry does not face that restriction. El Presidente wants fortune AND fame. The best way to do that on Cara Libro is to boost that tourist industry.

Your first objective is to build a Tourist Dock and five Bungalows. This island starts off with a dock on one beach, and opposite the island to it, an empty beach.

The empty beach should be where you place the Tourist Dock and the five Bungalows.

Penultimo will tell you that your trials on Isla de Hierro will give Cara Libro an extra $2000 every six months. This will prove useful.

Get a clinic up early, to keep citizens from dropping dead in front of your tourists (and vice-versa). And despite the taxes on exports, the fields in front of the Palace are good for Sugar fields, and every little bit helps.

Once the Bungalows are up and running, Penultimo will present three choices of tourist to cater to: Eco tourists, Spring Break tourists, or Wealthy tourists.

Each has their own preferred facilities and environments, so choose what you intend to support that falls in line with your island’s needs.

After this, you’ll get a free Hotel thanks to UN support. Place this in a ‘green’ zone. Once this is placed and built, Penultimo will give you the primary objective of the map: El Presidente needs to gather a million followers.

To do this, you have to accomplish the various Tasks offered on the island, while maintaining good conditions for the citizens and the tourists.

Don’t feel TOO rushed to get every single task done, but recognize their value: This is where you’re going to get the most followers. Simple enough, right?

To help boost tourism, you will need a Ministry, and you’ll need to hire the right kinds of people so you can use the best Edicts.

You can build schools on the island to educate the citizens, but it may be faster to just hire the ministers from overseas if you have the cash. You’ll also need a TV Station to use certain tourism Edicts.

Later into the chapter, you’ll have a chance to bring some of El Presidente’s friends to the island.

Each friend has a requirement of some kind to fulfill before you can invite them, and each will have their own political fall out to deal with after their visit, giving you three choices to exploit their visits.

If you’re looking to finish the map quickly, choose the options that provide the most followers, but be aware that you may make some people upset with your decisions.

Once you have the prerequisite million followers, the chapter is complete!
