When Melbourne-based entrepreneur Tom Lillecrapp decided to start a dog-walking company in 2013, he envisioned more than strolling around the suburbs in a tangle of leads. He wanted to take his customers’ pooches on fully fledged adventures. He explains to Monocle’s Adrian Craddock how his company, Tom and Captain, has become a huge success.

Kosovo isn’t, perhaps, the most obvious tourist hotspot. But now it has a destination hotel: The Hotel Gracanica. A former Swiss diplomat started the venture with two of his friends from Kosovo’s Roma ethnic minority. As Monocle’s Guy De Launey discovers, the hotel is overcoming longstanding mutual suspicions by staffing the hotel with members of all Kosovo’s ethnic groups.
