Sex tourism

Sex tourism is tourism, partially or fully for the purpose of having sex, often with prostitutes. Sex tourism is legal in any country in the world where prostitution is also legal. Often the term "sex tourism" is wrongly interchanged with the term "child sex tourism". However, sex with children is illegal in virtually every country in the world. A "sex tourist" is usually defined as an adult who is having legal consensual sexual relations with another adult often for the exchange of money or presents, whereas a tourist who is having sex with a child is a "child sex tourist" and is committing grave criminal offences in the host country, and possibly the country that the tourist is a citizen of.

Both males and females can be sex tourists. Female sex tourists typically travel to Northern African countries or Caribbean islands such as the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Jamaica. Male sex tourists typically travel to any non-Western country where prostitution is legal and more affordable than in their own country. American men are also known to travel to developed countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, since prostitution is illegal in the United States (with the exception of Nevada) but not in the other respective destinations.
