Economy

The village's economy is based on tourism[2] and associated activities, whereas originally it was almost exclusively fishing as this was a pure fishermen's village. At one end of Prizba is the tourist complex called Priscapac, which has a sports-diving centre.

gollark: Also, the self-destruct function rigged to the dead-man's switch in my base, that's relevant too.
