Greenland's economy are mainly based on marine-resources and grants from the Danish Government. Greenland's most important industry is fishing with shrimps as its major product. Royal Greenland is owned by the Greenland Home Rule Authority and is one of Northern Europe's largest fishing industries. About 5,000 people live on fishing today. There is no pollution in Greenland and people here care greatly for the environment.
Seals are an important resource in Greenland.
They supply the population with food and clothing. Great Greenland, the Home Rule Authority's tannery, produces fashion fur coats for the international market. We hope to be able to develop oil and mining industries over the next few years. Tourism is a new and developing industry. About 20,000 tourists visit Greenland every year.
