The facts about sex tourism in the UK are relatively straightforward. In the conventional sense, UK sex tourism isn\u2019t really a thing. While the UK has a thriving high-end escort industry, it\u2019s not a country people flock to with \u2018adult entertainment\u2019 in mind.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s interesting is how some of the world\u2019s most popular and appealing sex tourism destinations are far from the first places that spring to mind, when the subject is brought up. According to the folks at Ennvy<\/a> – one of the UK\u2019s leading online escort services – it\u2019s not all about travelling as far as Asia to get your kicks. In fact, the demand for escort services<\/a>, including male escorts is on the rise.<\/p>\n

In fact, some of the most iconic (and active) sex tourism destinations are right on the doorstep of Great Britain.<\/p>\n

What Defines Sex Tourism?<\/h2>\n

Truth is, most people who fall within the bracket of \u2018sex tourists\u2019 have an entirely different definition of what it means. In some instances, those who travel to places like Thailand and simply indulge on occasion during their visit would not consider themselves sex tourists.<\/p>\n

They may even be offended by the notion, given the fact that they didn\u2019t travel to a particular place with one primary objective in mind.<\/p>\n

By definition, however, those who make use of the adult entertainment sector in any foreign country during a stay for any reason could technically be bracketed as a sex tourist. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with this, just as long as what takes place happens in accordance with all applicable laws.<\/p>\n

The World\u2019s Most Popular Sex Tourism Destinations<\/h2>\n

As for where people are heading to get their kicks, some of the world\u2019s most popular sex tourism destinations<\/a> are more obvious than others. Whether looking to travel to the other side of the world or simply pop overseas for a weekend break, there\u2019s no shortage of options to choose from.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Even today, the Netherlands is one of the most popular destinations in the world for sex tourism. There\u2019s been a bit of a clampdown on rowdy visitors making a mess of things over the years, but Amsterdam\u2019s red-light district remains perhaps the most iconic in the world.<\/p>\n

Each year, around 4.6 million people descend on Amsterdam for a variety of reasons. Incredibly, the country\u2019s sex tourism trade accounts for approximately 5% of its entire GDP. Hence, it is hardly surprising that the Netherlands is also known for looking after its sex workers on a level few other countries come close to, rather than attempting to punish people for making a safe and honest living.<\/p>\n

The Gambia<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Slightly further afield, research suggests that this particular part of West Africa has one of the most thriving sex industries to be found anywhere in the world.\u00a0 But what\u2019s interesting here is how just as many women as men use the services of sex workers in the Gambia.<\/p>\n

Official statistics are hard to come by, but the sex industry here is exceptionally popular among locals and visitors alike. It\u2019s also a place where the sex industry goes beyond basic physical gratification, with many seeking little more than companionship and company.\u00a0 The Gambia has become an increasingly popular tourist destination in general over recent years, further fueling its already booming sex tourism industry.<\/p>\n

The Caribbean<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on where you head in the Caribbean, you could be looking at a sex tourism industry that\u2019s predominantly underground or well and truly in your face. For example, the Dominican Republic is one of the most popular sex tourism destinations for visitors from the United States, partly due to its proximity.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, sex tourism in Cuba is extremely common, despite technically being illegal in most of its forms. It\u2019s also the same in Jamaica, where prostitution is technically against the law, but nobody really pays any attention to it. There\u2019s also a thriving sex tourism sector in Barbados, which is also home to a supremely popular red-light district many tourists flock to.<\/p>\n

Spain<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Last but not least, Spain is far from the first place most people would think of when discussing sex tourism. Nevertheless, those who visit Spain for exactly this reason know that it has one of the most prolific sex industries anywhere in Europe.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s sex trade is concentrated predominantly around Madrid, Barcelona and other big cities, which welcome millions of visitors every month of the year. Some estimates suggest that there is anything up to 400,000 sex workers operating in the country. Most of whom are operating completely legally, as there is no specific legislation in Spain that outlaws prostitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
