Tourism is an important asset to Gibraltar and is one of the three pillars of the Gibraltar economy, the other two being the British military and financial services.
Gibraltar attracted over 100,000 visitors in 2005[citation needed], more than three times its population. There are a large number of attractions in Gibraltar, such as beaches, marinas, the famous Barbary Macaques, the Alameda Wildlife Conservation Park, the Moorish Castle, Main street and the town, with its squares, tree lined streets, colonial architecture and buildings. The Great Siege Tunnels and the military history of Gibraltar attract many visitors, along with St. Michael's Cave, the 100 ton gun, Europa Point and the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque.
Nonetheless, most visitors are attracted by Gibraltar's relatively low-priced and VAT-free goods, particularly duty free tobacco and alcohol.[1]
