Explanation:
...im tertiären Sektor

tertiärer Sektor = Dienstleistungsbereich/sektor

Ich sehe wohl, dass dieser schon vorher erwähnt ist, deshalb Vorschlag für den ganzen Satz:

Die Wirtschaft stützt sich vor allem auf den Dienstleistungssektor (öffentliche Verwaltung) und Aktivitäten im tertiären Bereich.

Terminus aus Eurodicautom

(1) TERM tertiary sector

Reference Dipl.-Ing.Ensslin,Regionalverband Mittlerer Neckar,Stuttgart

(1) TERM tertiärer Sektor

Reference Institut für Landschaftsplanung,Universität Stuttgart

(2) TERM Dienstleistungssektor

Reference Institut für Landschaftsplanung,Universität Stuttgart

Es erscheint mir unwahrscheinlich, dass sich die Wirtschaft hauptsächlich auf Aktivitäten des Non-Profit-Sektors stützt, wie von Alexandra vorgeschlagen.
