- The map shows the tertiary sector jobs to job total %
Tertiary sector refers to the commercial services that support the production and distribution process, e.g. insurance, transport, advertising, leisure, warehousing and other services such as leisure and recreation. The Alps are one of the most popular recreation spaces in Europe (Fleming, 2004).
At first, this activity complemented other economic branches but gradually it developed to the extent that it became indispensable and the most important economic sector for many alpine areas. Nowadays, many rural mountain regions are characterised by well-developed tourist industries.
The Alpine Convention area comprises 190.558 km2 (Ruffini et al. 2004), which includes 5.954 municipalities. In 2004, around 14 million people were living in this area. Today the population in the Alpine Convention area is twice as much as it was at the end of the 19th century. Austria and Italy together with 55.5% represent the largest share in the Alpine Convention area. More than half of the Alpine population (53.5%) is concentrated in these areas of the Alps. During the 1990s the population in the Alpine Convention area increased by 7,8%. The demographic process is not homogeneously spread across the Alpine regions. Areas with growth and decline are located closely together. The highest population growth was registered in Germany and in Liechtenstein. In contrast, the lowest was recorded in the Slovenian Alps.
