Are the Galapagos islands poor

Answer 1

The Galapagos Islands are part of Chile, and mostly uninhabited--they are a national park. There are towns on two of the islands whose main industry is tourism. Although not as rich as western countries, the incomes on these islands are often higher than on the mainland, and many people have moved here for that reason. The government limits Immigration, because of the delicate ecological balance it is trying to maintain on the islands.
