Tourism angle: A separate travel feature highlights São Tomé and Príncipe’s “Africa’s Galápagos” approach—conservation-led, low-crowd tourism built around biodiversity and the slow “leve leve” lifestyle. Citizenship-for-funds: São Tomé and Príncipe also announced a “golden passport” citizenship-by-investment scheme: a $90,000 contribution to a National Transformation Fund (plus fees), aimed at funding energy and development amid weak export earnings and power shortages. Diplomacy: Serbia’s foreign minister met São Tomé and Príncipe’s PM to expand cooperation in education, healthcare, agriculture, digitalisation and culture.
