Explanation

Sentosa Island is a premier resort island located off the southern coast of Singapore [1]. It is situated approximately 800 metres from the main island and is often referred to as Singapore's "State of Fun" or its premier island getaway [2]. The island features numerous attractions, including Universal Studios, themed parks, golf courses, and luxury hotels. Historically, the Niti Aayog in India has identified several islands in the Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep archipelagos to be developed as ecotourism destinations, aiming for a "Singapore-like" tourism boost similar to the model seen at Sentosa [1]. The island was notably in the news for hosting the 2018 North Korea–United States summit at the Capella Hotel, further cementing its international significance as a strategic and leisure hub [1].
