Launching in 2018, a pilgrimage to key religious sites in East Timor, da Silva said “it is time for the church and government to unite and develop forms of religious tourism that are rich not only on the spiritual side but also in social, economic, cultural and historical aspects.” The country has started to develop religious tourism to give the fragile economy a much-needed boost.[4]
