Tourism is increasingly important for Manta's economy. Various cruise ships have made Manta a port of call while traveling the southern Pacific Ocean. In addition, the original and official "Panama" hats are produced in Manabí. Internationally known, they are made in the nearby town of Montecristi. Montecristi hats are popular souvenirs for many visitors to Manta.

Manta receives numerous visits from foreign as well as local tourists. The most visited beaches include "El Murciélago", "Santa Marianita", "San Lorenzo" and "Barbasquillo". Surfers often travel to San Lorenzo to find powerful waves, which are regularly head high.

La brisa despierta a MANTA / Las olas vienen del mar / La espuma alegra el café / Que deleita el paladar / Con aroma y con ternura / Del mejor café de altura / Que se pueda saborear / En mi Manta sin igual / Translation: The breeze wakes up MANTA / The waves come from the sea / The foam brightens the coffee / What delights the palate / With aroma and tenderness / The best high altitude coffee / that can be savored / In my Manta without equal /
