"Build and they will come"💀
That Hyde guy is right. Tourists, including local tourists, don't visit islands for the blings. People go there for a comfortable stay in its natural beauty. Water, power, sewage, waste disposal etc is far more critical.
For the airport, put in more trips instead. This will be far more flexible and can deal with off seasons much better.
As they say, one step at a time. They don't even have roads connecting villages at the island perimeter, and will probably never connect all villages due to very rugged terrain.
I'm not sure about the need for an international-size airport on Tioman, 3 times the runway length of the existing STOLport. They can do assessments but I don't think work will start in these few years.
