CONCLUSION

 In conclusion, I can say that the fishing in Chimbote is an activity of vital

importance for the development of our country since it contributes a good part to
the national and local development.

 There is a great tourism potential that can be exploited from promoting

development policies for general employment based on local tourism.

 Chimbote is a perfect city to have fun with your family, for their different
beaches and recreation but sometimes the air is polluted by fish meal factories,
even so, the people are very friendly the gastronomy is good especially ceviche
it is my favorite dish for lunch or dinner.
