Solution

No. Tertiary activities do not involve only services. They mainly provide services, but some tertiary activities are also connected with the distribution and sale of products.

Examples of products involved in tertiary activities:

  1. Groceries sold through shops
  2. Medicines sold through pharmacies
  3. Clothes sold in retail stores
  4. Books and stationery
  5. Electronic goods
  6. Vehicles sold through dealers
  7. Food served in hotels and restaurants
  8. Goods transported by logistics and courier services

Thus, tertiary activities mainly support trade, transport, communication and other services, but they also help products reach consumers.
