Manta is an important city at the province of Manabí. Until recent days, it was only known for its important tuna fishing fleet, the production and bottling of vegetable oil, and the commercialization of "paja toquilla" (straw) hats.

Manta is a modern city, but some antique bamboo and wooden houses still remain as a remainder of the old village. Located at the Pacific coast and with an average temperature of 25 degrees Centigrade all year long, dry weather and dry tropical forest in its surroundings, Manta is an attractive city to visit. Additionally, Manta offers first class hotel facilities and daily aerial services from the main cities of the country, offered by the local airlines Tame and Icaro. The warmth and hospitality of the Manteños contributes to the rapid tourism development of the whole province.
