I grew up in a place where you can find a row of beaches to choose from. The shoreline is covered by white sand and has a beautiful coral reefs under. I enjoy swimming in the clean blue waters with flying fishes joining you and baby shrimps kissing your feet as you go along. Tourists go there during summer and adore the place. As years passed by,the placed have been developed into resorts attracting more tourists. It helps my community to earn more from it but sad to say, its beauty has been disfigured by those who stole the reefs as they go on diving and catch clown fish and seahorses to fill their aquarium.I am worried that the natural beauty of our wild beaches fades because of the ingress of commercial resorts are multiplied. Great opportunities are coming in for my fellows that they can't even notice the disadvantages of it. How can we preserve its beauty if everyone is being blinded by the money they got?

In a tourist destination life cycle it can start like the local people only know about it and enjoy it. Then a few travelers discover it and visit. They typically stay in private rooms. The government later realizes that the place has potential as a tourist resort. New roads and accommodation like hotels spring up. An airport will open to let foreign tourists arrive. Divers come to explore the reef and snorkeling becomes very popular. Some of the local people find employment in the tourist industry. I have visited Caye Caulker in Belize and it remains unspoilt. I like it when there is a rule saying accommodation can't be taller than a palm tree. Divers numbers should be limited and snorkelers should learn how to take care with the fragile coral reef. The Seychelles has select accommodation and keeps its landscape looking pretty.

Yes the naturalness of a place is the best, resorts spoil a beuatiful place, man ruins all beautiful places for the sake of money...sad but true.
