Silvino Lubos's economy is based on agriculture and timber since it is surrounded by forests.
Recently, tourism-based activities have started to develop as the town's cool weather conditions make the town's temperature conditions comparable to Baguio's and the rugged terrain similar to Sagada's. Camping tour organizers have been bringing tourists to the site as a new road paved the way for motor vehicles to reach Silvino Lubos overland on a much shorter travel time compared to motorized boats that ply the Pambujan River to reach the town in a much longer travel time. Before discovering river cruises, the town was reachable only by hiking through mountain trails from the nearest transport access point.
