The island and its eight regions
Each point is a button: hover over it, tap it or reach it with the Tab key to show the time from the airport, the price ranges per night and the pages for the region.
A simplified drawing to locate the regions, not a road map: travel times matter more than distances.

Travel times between bases
The times are those of the transfer pages: rough figures by car, in daytime. Between two bases, they are often given relative to the drive from the airport, which serves as a common benchmark.
