As odd as it can sound, politics can be developed into tourism attraction.
For those who have lived in a democratic nation and whose generation and his (or her) parent's have lived in total political tranquility, countries where one man rule and one man is worshiped by some and hated by others, might constitute a theme worth exploiting as a tourist attraction.
One can imagine a tour bus showing banners alongside roads where a character is displayed as being the savior of the nation; next to God, this person is portrayed as the embodiment of goodness. All the infrastructures; roads, bridges, ports and government buildings, owe their existence to this person that without him (or her), the country itself would probably not exist.
The exercise of democracy in that country can be appreciated by the riders of these type of tours on the walls where the same person is portrayed as the devil, reason for all evils and carrier of all bad news in the same nation.
The Political Tourists could purchase mementos from this memorable trip, such as t-shits, hats, pins and other items with the picture of this character, little flags that display the leader's favorite colors (those of his party), and of course, those exceptional pictures of irreverent people that flick their fingers as the tourists are dressed with all these mementos.
These tours could be combined as to visit two or three of these countries. Usually they have exceptional diplomatic relations among them and visas could be obtained very easily. These countries although they disdain the nations from where these tourists originate, because of their opposition tho one man rule, they do like their dollars these stable democracies produce and even promote the visitation of tourists from these nations. The tourists are welcomed but they have to abide by the laws of the land, specially, the one that requires no political, personal or otherwise opinion that could incite any disposition against the ruler from whom all good proceeds.
Besides the small inconvenience that causes being expressionless while visiting the Political Tourist Spot, it's worthwhile because of the fun one can spend afterwards sharing with family and friends back home the incredible simplicity of these regimes where everything can be summarized by one person. These leaders grant permissions, enacts decrees, makes laws and makes sure everything is implemented according to their will, which of course, is the will of the people he rules, as he has decreed; with the exceptions of a few ill educated and untactful citizens that have heard bad advise from some tourists that did not fully complied by the requirements of the laws of the country and have therefore, acquired unwanted foreign customs.
So our advise, is that Travel Agents should engage in promoting these tours because we are sure they will be in great demand, specially after this blog is published.
BON BOYAGE!
