Zanzibar is known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a popular tourist destination. The archipelago also has a diverse ecosystem and is home to many unique plant and animal species, including the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey. Tourism, agriculture (especially cloves), and fishing are the main economic activities in Zanzibar. The local economy also relies heavily on financial transfers from diaspora communities. The majority of the population is Muslim, and Swahili is the official language, although many people also speak English. Zanzibar has its own government and parliament, which have powers over certain areas of governance, such as tourism, local policy, and finance. The archipelago has a strong cultural identity and has worked to preserve its heritage through initiatives such as promoting traditional music and dance and preserving historic buildings in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
