Claiming the Right to Say No Conclusion We seem to have reached the fate of making the Goan beaches like any other tourist destination without leaving any more surrogate tourism in Goa. If we do not take sufficient measures to curb the vices that influence our Goan society, there is a near possibility of a ‘holocaust’ to emerge; which is of a different nature. We have seen it with Dharmashala; let it never happen to Goa. Now, we cannot tell the Israelis to stop coming to Goa. We have to judge the equations and give them alternatives. 66
Theologizing Tourism: Towards a Pastoral Care of Tourism Theologizing Tourism: Towards a Pastoral Care of Tourism by Students of Theology Rachol Seminary Goa, the Rome of the East, is blessed with the blue seas, silver sands, swaying palms, extensive paddy fields, tranquil hills and green valleys. Its ancient churches, temples and mosques, famous for its architectural legacies, have christened Goa as a tiny “emerald land” on the west coast of India. Added to this, the mouth watering Goan cuisine, its foot tapping music and unforgettable cultural heritage, gives the tourists all possible reasons to choose Goa as their holiday destination. Goa being one of the best products of the world tourism industry, has always offered a hospitable treat to her guests, who travel from far and wide either for leisure, business or for other reasons. Tourism industry has proved to be both boon and bane to our land. On one side, tourism has resulted in creating employment opportunities, generating income, developing infrastructure, but, on the other side, it is responsible for degeneration of values, exploitation of our natural resources to satisfy needs and greed of the tourists, and also of all those who cater to them at the cost of selling off the very core of Goa. Having got the overview of tourism, let us now come to our objective. The objective of our study is to provide a theological reflection on tourism. At the very outset, we should remember that every authentic theology is born of two interlacing experiences; one is that of the faith and the other is of the reality of life. While theologizing we take into account both, the faith perspective and the concrete historical situation. In this regard our study is a reflection on tourism in the light of Christian faith. In laymen’s language it’s a reflective fusion of Christian faith and tourism. 67
