Despite its wonderful nature and landscape, the touristical infratructure on Corsica is not very distinct yet. The Corsicans are afraid that any further development towards mass tourism might endanger the uniqueness of Corsican culture. The long, extensive hiking trail GR 20 with short climbing tours attracts many hikers. Industry hardly exists on Corsica. Production is mainly based on agricultural products, the building sector and services. Most goods produced on the island are sold to tourists on the spot. This is especially true for the native clasp knives that are crafted in a traditional way.
