From the Washington Post: After visiting Roman aqueducts and St. Peter’s dome, some American tourists sit to listen to a man abused by a Catholic priest. It’s known as ‘Experience tourism’ — mass tourism touching on “controversial,” enriching topics— and it’s increasing in demand.
The Goa Tourism Board can capitalize on this idea with the following: In the Margão Jardim, put Churchill in front of tourists giving them free English lessons. In any village coconut grove, demonstrate how to turn coconut trees to grass. On the Benaulim beach teach Portuguese fishermen tourists how to preserve their cod coming from long distances, with Formalin. On the campaign trail let Arvind Kejriwal give free electricity to budget tourists cooking meals and Pappu Sawant free water after eating. At the Mamlatdars Office show throngs on how to quickly flip land record titles like the Great Houdini and at the Collector’s Office change the names of all tourists in a snap and let them happily leave with Portuguese passports. The list of what can be done to keep tourists coming is endless. Roland. Toronto.
