Tourism is another expanding industry, fueled by Liechtenstein’s visa-free access for over 100 countries, which enhances accessibility for international visitors. The scenic Liechtenstein Trail, which connects its municipalities, showcases the country’s natural beauty, while its remarkable castles, such as Vaduz Castle, offer a unique glimpse into royal heritage, creating compelling opportunities for tourism investment.
