Economy
Overview: The mainstay of Andorra's economy is tourism.
An estimated 12 million tourists visit annually, attracted
by Andorra's duty-free status and by its summer and winter
resorts. Agricultural production is limited by a scarcity
of arable land, and most food has to be imported. The principal
livestock activity is sheep raising. Manufacturing consists
mainly of cigarettes, cigars, and furniture. The rapid pace
of European economic integration is a potential threat to
Andorra's advantages from its duty-free status.
