But when the guests arrived, there was no island on which event could happen, no transportation was available, people were stranded in tents, dining with bread, no electricity, no communication. This was because MF who was in charge of the event had no experience of creating an event. He was good at marketing due to which he raised tons of dollars. The only mail received by tourists is that the event has been postponed. Planners warned MF to create an event or else lifetime imprisonment.
