How did this tourist attraction started?

Also, the fishermen feed them, which made them stay in the area. Years ago, fishermen used to hate them and make them stay away from the area because they are eating the fishes that the fishermen should supposedly catch for their living. As the days go by, they have realized that these

Whale sharks is a great help. So instead of catching fishes they decided to feed the Whale sharks. The other Whale shark is calling out its friends because the area is abundant in terms of food. As each day passes by, numbers of whale sharks are coming in the area. Which makes it a tourist attraction now. Based on research Whale sharks are known as the largest fish in the planet and they can grow up to 14 meter long. Yep, they really are very heavy.
