Albania is open to leisure tourists and still seeing strong visitor growth. The main live traveler issues are periodic protests, seasonal wildfire/heat risk, and routine crime/road-safety concerns; there is no credible current evidence of armed conflict, countrywide closure, or a sanctions-driven payment shutdown affecting ordinary tourists.
