Home to the famous, breathtaking Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is also home to the world’s largest land-locked harbor. Owing its early rise of city population due to the gold rush, San Francisco was able to lay down its commerce and industry sectors that we see up until today.
San Francisco’s cool façade of today masks the fact that it was once devastated by the United State of America’s most powerful earthquake and to add insult to injury, a great fire broke out shortly after the earthquake which pretty much destroyed the city back in the early 1900s. The tragedy, however, did not dissuade the people of San Francisco from making that city bigger and better.
The vital part of San Francisco’s economy revolves around its bay area. In the bay area, people can have plenty of maritime activities. Famous locations include the world renown Fisherman’s Wharf and the infamous Alcatraz Island. Other than the high profits from tourism, San Francisco also deals heavily in trading, as well as biotechnological industries. Most of the attractions in San Francisco is centered on its bay area, making the ports and the bay of San Francisco one of the world’s leading visitor destinations.
