I will be visiting Australia this month, and will certainly make an effort to visit this Peace Park when I go to Sydney. In a world that seems to be becoming increasingly intolerant, it is so very important to use every avenue, including that of tourism to promote cross cultural understanding, tolerance and ultimately – global peace.

I hope this will be an active growthpoint towards a new universal common sense and social norm that privileges a humane desire to know and appreciate others beyond political rhetoric and groupism. The single most important challenge is to develop interest in others while building the capacity to reach out and see emotional issues from their standpoints. It has been many decades since the foundation of Peace Park in North America, Auroville in India, hundreds of alternative communes worldwide, not to forget the American PeaceCorp programme which had spread peace and cross-cultural understanding throughout the globe..yet war mongering continues as an unmitigated parallel curse to humanity. In tourism it is now more than three decades since the first conference on Tourism as a vital force for Peace was held in Montreal (1985), yet the call for peace (nameste, sabaidee, shalom, salam and many many more) remains rhetorical. It’s time we as humans anywhere and everywhere practice the goodwill initiative of saying hello to the stranger with a genuine desire to know others out of a habit of love and curiosity. We ought to cultivate xenophilia rather than xenophobia. To love is more beneficial than to hate. Peace Brother!
