Marble is an abundant mineral deposit in Romblon. It was estimated to have about 150 million metric tons of marble deposit, estimated to last up to three centuries more. This is why marble quarrying and processing are the main activities in Romblon, and Romblon is famous for marble novelty items, furniture and construction materials.

Being surrounded by water, fishing is also a major activity in the province.

Most of Romblon’s natural attractions have not yet been explored, due to its being located in the middle part of the country. It is surrounded with equally beautiful natural attractions from other provinces and competition is stiff. Its white sand beaches and share of the Philippines marine wealth and other amazing natural sites are thus not completely explored yet.

Being in the center of the Philippines, Romblon is strategically located and this gives them an advantage in transporting passengers and cargo to and from the surrounding regions.
