More about Chile
Tourism
With 3.67 million foreign visitors (2014), Chile’s tourist potential is considered to be expandable. Around two thirds of the tourists who arrive, especially in the summer months, come from other countries in South America (39.3% from Argentina), 11.6% from Europe and 11.3% from Brazil. In addition to the capital, popular destinations are the national parks of the Los Lagos regions (with numerous volcanoes and lakes) and Magallanes in Patagonia (especially Torres del Paine) in the south and the Atacama desert in the north of the country.
Natural resources
Mining has been the mainstay of the economy since the 19th century. Chile is the largest copper producer in the world and has considerable reserves (around 36% of the known world reserves). The largest extraction plant with processing is located in Chuquicamata.
Molybdenum (2014: 48,900 t), silver (1,571.8 t) and gold (46.0 t) are by-products. Iron ore mining is also of great importance in the Coquimbo and Atacama provinces (output 9.4 million t). The saltpetre from the caliche in the Atacama desert was the most important export product until the manufacture of artificial nitrogen (1913). With the iodine produced as a by-product, Chile can meet most of the world’s needs. Table salt and borax are extracted in the Atacama salt pans; large lithiumdeposits were also discovered there.
Energy industry
When it comes to electricity generation, around 62% is made up of fossil heat sources, 33% is hydroelectric power and 5% is other renewable energies. The coal deposits, especially in the province of Arauco, are of little importance for the energy industry.
Transportation
North and central Chile have good transport links. The railway network has a main line of 3,300 km from Pisagua in the north to Puerto Montt in the south (cross connections to Bolivia and Argentina); Passenger traffic only between Santiago de Chile and Puerto Montt or Concepción; transandine freight traffic only from Arica and Antofagasta to Bolivia. Important roads are the 3,455 km long section of the Carretera Panamericana (Panamerican Highway) from the Peruvian border to Puerto Montt in a north-south direction as well as several transand roads to Argentina. In 1988 a direct road connection (Carretera Austral) was established between the Aisén regionand Puerto Montt completed. Until then, the region could not be reached by land via Chilean territory. Sea and coastal shipping are of particular importance because of the north-south expansion of Chile. The most important sea ports are Valparaíso, San Antonio, Arica, Talcahuano / San Vicente, Antofagastaand Iquique; the most important international airport is Arturo Benítez in Santiago de Chile.
Industry
The first industrialization approaches began at the end of the 19th century. After the collapse of the saltpeter monopoly and the global economic crisis, the Chilean state made great efforts to build up an import-substituting industry (protective tariff policy, forced foreign exchange economy, establishment of state-owned companies). The most important branches were the food and textile industries; Main locations in Santiago de Chile, Valparaíso and Concepción. The Huachipato steelworks near Concepción was built as the center of heavy industry in 1947. Since the 1960s, the domestic market-oriented industrialization model was increasingly reaching its limits (small market, lack of competitiveness on the world market). Under the Allende government about 500 companies were nationalized. The military government has not only returned these companies to their previous owners, but has also privatized other state-owned companies. The simultaneous liberalization of the economy (including lowering import duties to 10%) hit the manufacturing industry particularly hard and caused a profound structural change in favor of sectors with comparative behavior on the world market (especially the processing of raw materials such as wood, fish, agricultural products, metals).
