Essaouira

Essaouria was built in the 1770s. At first most of the people there were mostly fisherman. There were so many fisherman, so now their are no more fish there. They were starting we run out of foods and people were losing their jobs. So, they have think a a way to stop this and to raise money. Suddenly, people start talking and finally thought of a way to make good money. They thought, why not use this old, and beautiful town to attract tourism. So they did, more and more tourist start to come to Essaoria and it has been increase to 300%, and Essaoria finally got placed in the UNESCO's world heritage list of the year 2001.

Then one day, they realize that because of how much tourist they have. Their local culture and their civilization are in trouble. Also, their city is getting polluted, because of all the traffic and how much people they have. It even destroyed some of the great ancient building. The ocean was polluted, the air and the land.
