Tamaulipas' economy is based primarily on the petro-chemical industries.
There are petro-chemical production plants around Altamira, refinery facilites
in Ciudad Madero and many oil-industry support service companies in Tampico.
Also of importance are the tourism and fishing industries, as well as much
commercial shipping, based in Tampico and Altamira. The little village
of La Pesca, in the municipality of Soto La Marina, about midway between
Brownsville, Texas and Tampico, is a rapidly growing tourist area with
lovely beaches and excellent fishing both in the Gulf of Mexico and the
Rio Soto La Marina. The central zone contains the capital, Ciudad Victoria,
and is home to much foresting and farming, as well as some industrial development.
About 30% of the population lives here, both in the capital and in Ciudad
Mante. Ciudad Victoria is a significant educational center, home to the
Autonomous University of Tamaulipas (which also has campuses in other cities
in the state), the Regional Technical Institute of Ciudad Victoria, the
University of Valle de Bravo, and other institutions of learning...
