Do you travel for sex? Is this prostitution? What is even happening? The World Tourism Organization defines “Sexual Tourism,” as:
“trips organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a commercial sexual relationship by the tourist with residents at the destination.”
The long and short of it is when people travel to engage in sexual activity, whatever that may mean to you, the traveler. Did you know that sexual tourism is a multi-billion dollar industry and surprisingly, there are benefits other than orgasm. Getting off abroad boosts the economy? Sexual tourism is not just money for sex. Sexual tourism benefits the airlines, taxis, restaurant, and hotels because you need all of these other tourist spots when you travel for sex just like you would if you travel for any other reason.
Now that we have established that the main reason for sexual tourism is to seek prostitution and for the person [prostitute] performing the sex to make a living. Most of the women that are prostitutes do so because they live in severe poverty and this is the only way to make a decent living. Who is to say that prostitution truly is the only option for these women but for the most part it is because it is high paying and they can support their families by blowing horny businessmen. Ok, ok, that harsh but they are doing what they need to put food on the table and that is commendable. Mostly, sexual tourism is legal aboard, it is domestically that it is not in the United States with the exception to Nevada.
