Sex Tourism in Africa: Kenya's Booming Industry

by Wanjohi Kibicho

Illustrated by in-depth empirical research from Kenya - one of the most popular country destinations in Africa for sex tourism - this book gathers much-needed statistics and data, and then critically examines the features of tourism and the sex trade, contextualizing this in relation to tourism development. It addresses the conditions which generate this 'social problem' and, while not taking a potentially problematic moralistic stance it questions whether this trade is exploitative in nature, particularly in cases of child sex tourism. It then critically evaluates the current policies in place to regulate the sex tourism industry and provides suggestions for future direction.

[Ietrio · Rating 1 out of 5]

A christian moralist book with strong marxist undertones. An African country should not be poor, but by god! profit is dirty and making money should be outlawed.
