Answer Below ↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Papua New Guinea, or simply referred to as PNG, is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean. It consists of a mainland and two major islands: New Guinea and Papua. The two major islands are separated by the narrow

Torres Strait. However, there are many smaller islands surrounding the two major islands. The nation's name comes from the Indonesian word for 'Papua,' which is also the name of its largest island. The nation has rich natural resources and numerous unique cultures that have evolved over hundreds of years. This is why many international companies want to develop the country's tourism industry.

Tourists are encouraged to wear protective gear when visiting remote areas. Many areas don't have doctors or hospitals, so injuries can go untreated for weeks or even months at a time. There aren't many ambulances either- most vehicles travel at a maximum of 20 kilometers per hour (12 mph). This means it can take days for medical staff to travel to someone's location and provide aid. Patients are expected to wait on the spot for medical staff to arrive before moving further ahead. Failure to do this can result in deadly injury - so tourists must be prepared when visiting these areas.
