The growth of sex tourism is most popular among males, specifically, western males looking for erotic sexual experiences. These experiences may range from visiting strippers, using escorts, or engaging in sexual experiences with prostitutes. This industry offers people (usually men) to engage in sex with vulnerable people (usually women), which fuels the demand for sex trafficking and child sex tourism. This industry is considered to be amongst the top five largest industries in the world that undertake illegal and criminal activities ("4 Facts You," 2013). Sex tourism occurs in several developing countries, but much of the sex tourism industry revolves around the areas of the Latin American, the Caribbean, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries (Bender & Furman, 2004). The five most popular destinations for sex tourism are Colombia, Indonesia, Spain, Brazil, and Thailand. Although many of the countries involved in sex tourism are located in Southeast Asia, Colombia is located in South America and is a hot spot for sex tourism. In Colombia, it is said that sex workers will lower their prices if the client is attractive, and a good negotiator, which may be the reason the country is so popular for sex tourism. Indonesia is another country where sex tourism thrives. Although prostitution is legally considered a ˜crime against decency and morality' the business continues to grow. In Indonesia, specifically, sex tourism is growing through online sex forums and prostitutions rings that exist through social media. The availability of sex workers via the internet allows for ratings and facilitates the processes of finding a prostitute creating an efficient industry. Spain is another country where the sex tourism industry is booming. In cities like Ibiza, Madrid, and Barcelona, tourists participate in all night clubbing along with sex tourism. Since prostitution is legal, Spain sits as one of the top destinations in Europe for sex tourism.
