Does that island you're on happen to be in the U.S.? If not, that may change some of the specific opportunities that are available to you. While any general career opportunity cam work in virtually any country in the world, some companies may limit their opportunity only to their country of origin, or a limited number of countries.
You should look for a company that will work with both of your strong points - A local business that appeals to either the general population of your island or to the business buyers there.
It would be even better, if the same business could be expanded through a website that you build, that will reach out to customers far beyond your local prospects.
While selling only on the island will make your business subject to the ups and downs of the economic cycle as well as any season fluctuations based on the impact that tourism has on your island economy, the internet-based business won't have the same ups and downs.
An online-only business won't be subject to the local economy, but you may find it harder or slower building online and having to develop the traffic to grow sales volume.
Promotional advertising could be a good option for both local and internet sales. The promotional products (custom-imprinted ink pens, t-shirts, coffee mugs, golf balls, screen-printed or embroidered caps, shirts, and jackets used as executive gifts, trade show handouts, employee and customer incentives, building brand recognition, and many other purposes.
Your options for starting a promotional advertising distributorship will depend at least in part whether you live in the U.S. ($18 Billion annual market), or elsewhere. I live in Louisiana, and can offer you assistance if you are also in the U.S.
