Pope John Paul II on the advantages of world tourism

“Tourism enables people to use part of their free time to contemplate the goodness and beauty of God in his creation and, through contact with others, helps to intensify mutual dialogue and acquaintance. Thus free time and tourism can compensate for the lack of human contact that is often felt in daily life.”
–Pope John Paul II, “Message for the 23rd World Tourism Day, 2002″
