This could be traditional and contemporary. Creativity can be linked to everything and extended to various industries for example, fashion, art and craft, gems, ornaments and technology. Secondly, it is the tropical multiplicity of flora. The capital that can create business such as spa, health-based tourism, etc. Finally, the third capital is the open-mindedness that welcomes multiplicities of nationalities and religions.
