Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.

Sugarlandia Spirit- We discover the roots of the rum trade in the Philippines and the magical lands beyond

Aside from the tropical climate, Negros Occidental's topography is also conducive to the cultivation of sugarcane. The active Mount Kanlaon volcano at the heart of the island - which recently hit headlines after erupting in early June - offers fertile, nutrient-packed soil, while large swathes of flat land allow for unbroken farming.
