Man is an agricultural region, with many cocoa, rice, coffee, cassava, banana (plantain), and soybean plantations. The area is the largest producer of coffee in the Ivory Coast. It is the home of a UNICAFÉ (The National Coffee Manufacturer of Côte d'Ivoire) factory, and Nestlé operates several coffee plants in the area.[6] The central market of Man buys and sells a large variety of fabrics (Yacouba traditional clothes, so-called Boubou Yacouba), and an endless collection of Dan (Yacouba) masks.
The best known hotels are the "Hotel les Casacades", "Tanhotel", and "Hotel Beau Sejour". Those hotels are well-equipped with satellite TV, swimming pools, phone lines, and good service is provided.
The main attractions around Man are La Cascade waterfall, a large rocky outcrop which overlooks the town known as the La Dent de Man (the tooth of Man), and the monkey forest.[7] La Cascade waterfall is situated at the west side of the town, and is surrounded by a bamboo forest, which is the habitat of many colorful dragonflies and a wide variety of butterflies. The monkey forest is a wooded area in which monkeys live; for a small fee tourists can persuade local residents to call the monkeys out of their forest habitat.
