There are 800 large businesses registered in this municipality. Moreover, a medieval castle is located at the former commune of Preza which is a minor tourism asset of the area. Vora Municipality and its two administrative units have experienced a rapid population increase during the last 25 years, which has given rise to a considerable number of buildings not respecting the city planning and lacking in infrastructure.
