Also administratively included in the province of Palermo is the island of Ustica, now a marine sanctuary, rising exactly in the middle of the current coming from the Atlantic, which highly enhances the clarity of the sea bottoms and helps the growth of a luxurian submarine life. Along with agriculture, the economy relies also on tourism, favored by the beautiful landscapes and the wealth of historical and cultural heritage of the territory.
