Statement of the Topic It is opined that thousands of people all over the world make travel every year to distinct destinations with varying reasons. Sex tourism has become an attractive aspect of the tourism industry. It is argued that many of those sex tourism destinations are in developing countries (Harrison, 2001). The key groups are rich men and women from developed countries. According to the World Tourism Organization, sex tourism is defined as a travel organized through existing networks solely for sexual relationships between the tourists and the residents of the desired destination. The primary goal of traveling must be to engage in commercial sexual relationships (Phil, 1999). Sex tourists are said to weigh the costs of services in the travel destination. In addition, the presence of laws allowing prostitution is the main attraction. It has been stated that access to child prostitution has been a key consideration by sex tourists (Macleod, 2004). This paper discusses the benefits, disadvantages, legal issues of sex tourism. The paper also analyzes the management of sex tourism (Papathanassis, 2011). Benefits of sex tourism Sex tourism generates a lot of money. The success of sex tourism has been through the support of institutions and governments that benefit from it (Mak, 2004). There are institutional facilitators who have teamed up with other partners to provide commercial sex tourism markets. Their support has paid off. They have made substantial earnings from their investment in sex tourism. It follows that there are several people who have received direct or indirect benefits (Mak, 2004). It is worth noting that the sex tourism business has worked for hand in hand with human trafficking. It has been observed that, in sex tourism markets, the demand exceeds the supply; hence key players have to engage in trafficking so as to fill the deficiency. Children and women have largely been victims of said trafficking (Mak, 2004). It is said that government officials find it hard to stop human trafficking bearing in mind the revenue benefits generated from it (Kempadoo, 1999). Disadvantages of sex tourism It is imperative to note that there are several disadvantages associated with sex tourism (Malcolm, 2002). Sex tourism has become a costly trade with notable effects in children, women, and society at large (Kathryn, 2005). Society’s values have been eroded
