The Canal area though, is at responsibility of the latter. A private-owned company is operating the Canal ship traffic. Loutraki's springs of mineral water are very well-known for their exceptional qualities.A significant bottling industry has been developed due to this fact.

These are the main source of the local production of natural resin. Together they form the Loutraki-Perachoras Municipality.
