History & Economy
Economy
Aruba is a free market; tourism remains today the basis of a larger share of national income. By the rapid growth of tourism in the last 80 years, related industries like construction have also flourished. Other major industries include oil refining and storage, as well as the activities of offshore banking. Despite the island's poor soil and low rainfall which limits their agricultural potential, there are crops of aloe, and activities such as livestock and fisheries contributing to the economy of Aruba. The country also exported art and collectibles, machinery, electrical equipment and transport equipment.
