Island Tourism
Many islanders help give insights on the Rapa Nui culture for tourists, such as this man named Moi. Actually, Moi gives tours with Ancestral Tours, and aims to show tourists how the islanders live through land and water. For water tours, he takes the tourists to Ovahe Beach, where they can snorkel. Together, the group catches fish that the waves wash up and Moi cooks the fish for them, all with the Moai statues guarding over this event.

Hanga Roa
Today, not all of the inhabitants have actually originated from Easter Island. Out of the entire population, 90 percent lives in Hanga Roa, which is the capital and most lively place in Rapa Nui. As far as infrastructure goes, Hanga Roa has one bank and some private businesses, so a very simple one indeed. Since nature focused tourism is central to the island, they have strict construction laws. However, there are still places for visitors to spend the night.
