The glass and jewelry industries, the manufacture and processing of plastics, mechanical engineering, and the manufacturing industry are primarily developed in close connection with automobile production.

For summer tourists, virtually every activity is available – hiking and cycling (both in the mountains and in the lower-lying areas – e.g., in the former Ralsko military training area), mountaineering (rock formations in Bohemian Paradise), swimming (Lake Mácha, streams), city tours (Liberec, Turnov, Frýdlant in Bohemia, Jilemnice, etc.), and sightseeing (fortresses, castles, urban heritage sites, rural heritage reserves and zones). The most famous castles and châteaux are Bezděz, Zákupy, Lemberk, Frýdlant, Sychrov, Hrubý Rohozec, and Valdštejn. Spas also play an important role. The region plays a significant role and is frequently visited by foreign tourists. Its rich cultural and historical tradition is reflected in a multitude of historical buildings and monuments, as well as cultural institutions, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to the region annually.

The region’s rich cultural and historical tradition is reflected not only in its numerous historical buildings and monuments, but also in its cultural institutions.
