Brazil has always been a popular tourist destination due to its exotic wildlife, pristine beaches, and raucous festivals. Brazil's sex tourism industry is growing at the fastest pace among all countries. With the latest World Cup held in Brazil, the government was watchful for sex tourism, child sex tourism, and sex trafficking during the preparations for the event. The top spot for sex tourism lies in the hands of Thailand, which comes as no surprise considering the popularity of the red light district in Bangkok. With hazy laws against prostitution, and a country with a sexually permissive nature, Thailand clearly sets up as a country where sex tourism thrives. Many Thai people believe that prostitution and toleration other's lifestyles are a necessary part of Thai culture. There are approximately 3 million sex workers in Thailand, and unfortunately a large number of those prostitutes landed in Thailand through human sex trafficking (Burns, 2014). Although all of these countries are different, they all look to entertain their tourists through the exotic experience of sex tourism.
Sex tourism is a huge, multi-billion dollar industry that is largely unspoken about. It is estimated that around 650,000 females have taken part in sex tourism since the 1980's. As the sex tourism industry is predominately male dominated, it is hard to imagine the number of men that take place in sex tourism each year. Exact values are hard to determine because what appears as a typical vacation or business trip can be turned into a sexual travel experience without anyone knowing about the activities that occurred. With that being said, it is clear that the sex tourism industry is a significant factor in the economies of cities and countries as more and more facilities are being built to cater for the increasing number of sex tourists. With millions of sex workers taking part in sex tourism, one can only imagine the amount of money people around the world put into this industry.
