Trapani | Introduction

Economy of Trapani

Trapani’s economy is still heavily reliant on the sea. The primary local industries are fishing and canning, with fishermen adopting the mattanza method to get tuna. Coral, salt, marble, and marsala wine are among key exports. The neighboring shore is dotted with salt-pans.

The city also serves as a ferry hub, having connections to the Egadi Islands, Pantelleria, Sardinia, and Tunisia. The Trapani-Birgi Airport is also located there.
