Holidays
The major holidays are the same as those in France (National Day, Bastille Day, Christmas, New Year's Eve), supplemented by local celebrations such as the anniversary of the abolition of slavery on 21 December and the Tamil and Chinese new years.

Economy
The economy has traditionally been based on agriculture, but services now dominate. Sugarcane has been the primary crop for more than a century, and in some years it accounts for 85% of exports. Other exports include seafood, rum, and vanilla. Tourism, especially from Europe, is a significant economic factor.
The economic well-being of Reunion depends heavily on continued financial assistance from France.
