In cities we have nothing of true value that could be used in exchange for a home or vacation on such remote paradise islands - but on these islands people have something we all need:
Peace, healthy and clean nature and most importantly food!
All world could live without technical stuff for millions of years but no one can live without food more than a few days. Hence who is in the better position or stronger position - the high tech world or the nature world ? Of course the latter world is durable and hence much stronger than our "civilizations".
