Wanderlust Magazine writes about Albania: Community tourism experiences are

The renowned international travel magazine 'Wanderlust' has dedicated a special article to tourism in Albania.

Through an article published in this category of writings, the Magazine highlights another aspect of tourism, that of the community experience.

The article mentions the country's nearly half-century isolation during communism and how tourism changed after the 1990s.

Part of the article:

The push for community tourism experiences like this comes at a crucial time for Albania. The Balkan nation may have been isolated from the world during its 46 years under communist rule, but that ended in the early 1990s. A record 10 million people visited the country in 2023 — more than three times its entire population. Today, with the vast majority of visitors flocking to its Adriatic coast for an affordable beach holiday, concerns are growing about the impact this will have on coastal environments and communities. Although Albania is eager to reap the economic benefits of tourism — evident in planned infrastructure projects that include roads, hotels and airports — the prevailing political atmosphere now leans toward changing the direction of its tourism. The new idea is to encourage travel that is not just about sun, sand and sea, but about immersing yourself in the country’s little-visited communities, protected nature and unique culture and heritage. I was eager to see what early visitors to this new Albania could expect./CNA
