Using World Tourism Day to build bridges between cultures and religions

Rome’s Holy See puts out an excellent short video marking World Tourism Day

“Through tourism you have the chance to meet and to know people of different minds and opinions and religions and idiosyncrasies, etc. And this can be an enrichment because it could be an occasion of respect, of acceptance.”

Archbishop Agostino Marchetto
Secretary, Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants

Today’s Barbados Advocate also has an excellent World Tourism Day section once you get past the use of the occasion to transfer government tax revenues to the paper through advertisements from smiling politicians.

I haven’t seen The Nation today and I wonder if that paper will have received an equal amount of government revenue.
