Radio Andorra operated a transmitter at Lake Engolasters in Encamp from 7 August 1939 until 9 April 1981. The antenna still exists at an elevation of {{convert|1600|m|ft}} (coordinates: {{coord|42|31|18|N|1|34|10|E|type:mountain_region:AD|name=Radio Andorra transmitter}}).

The economy of the parish is mostly based on its tourism industry, particularly skiing and hiking. There is also retail industry in the town of Encamp. There is a hydroelectric power station.

A road tunnel is being built between Encamp and Anyós in the neighbouring parish of La Massana; It cut journey times from 10 to 15 minutes to 5 minutes.

A cable car used to connect the town with Lake Engolasters, but it has been dismantled. However, a 2-stretch funitel built in 1998{{Cite web|url=https://www.remontees-mecaniques.net/|title=Funitel Débrayable (FUN D) Funicamp - www.remontees-mecaniques.net|website=www.remontees-mecaniques.net}} connects Encamp with a ridge at 2.500 m within Grandvalira ski resort, thus assuring a lift+ski link with El Pas de la Casa and the rest of the domain.
