Among the 30 thousand people, 5 thousand -native inhabitants of Monaco Monegasques. Being one of the best resorts on the Cote d'Azur, the principality accepts about 3 million tourists a year. That is why the main income of the country is brought by the tourist business. Some people consider it a matter of honor and prestige to have a bank account in Monaco, and many, based on this, register their companies on one of the main streets of the principality. This fact prompted the top managers to increase the rent rates very much. To date, the capital of Monaco provides for the rental of areas with very large rates, even at European level.
