A study of the UNICEF asserts that 10 % of the tourists
practise a sex tourism. On the billion tourists in 2010, according to the world
Service of the tourism, we can thus estimate at 100 millions, the number of
sexual tourists.
WHERE IS THE SEX TOURISM IN EUROPE ? Spain and more particularly Jonquera it is positioned as the place has not to fail in Europe for the fans of the sex tourism. Formerly an agricultural region prospers, it was fast transformed into place the prostitution in Europe. On the border with France, this small Spanish municipality is attractive for the price(prize) of the alcohol and the cigarettes which are cheaper there. But they are not the only settled products, indeed we speak of sex low-cost. And this one is to the Club Paradise, the biggest exclusive club of Europe, a space of 13 000m ² where the men(people) can offer themselves the services(departments) of male prostitutes for only 70euros, with an important choice because they are 300 almost naked women has to wait. The customers come in large numbers, of all Europe to take advantage of this safety and this luxury which is not current in the continent. Young adults, future husband, or the same father, many are allowed tempt by this club which grows up from day to day. However Spain is not the only country of Europe to be considered as its easy access has the prostitution. Just like Spain, Belgium legalized the procuring and the prostitution for the biggest happiness of the European. Indeed In Belgium, the zone going from Dunkirk to the Luxembourg would record near thousand establishments of prostitution. 80 % of the customers of the Spanish or Belgian messes are French, certain traveling up to 500 km to take advantage of these establishments. We can consider that the national legislations legalizing the prostitution are major factors of the development of this one as shows him the example of Spain and Belgium. Nevertheless it is not totally the case, because although she is formally forbidden in almost all of the Eastern European countries she it developpe considerably. In fact, since the 90s, the phenomenon strikes the countries of the old Communist Bloc: Poland, Czech Republic, Baltic States, Bulgaria, and more still Ukraine became famous destinations of sex tourism. Yet, most of these countries forbid the prostitution. The Eastern European countries are affected by this phenomenon on one hand, by the economic ditch which separate them from the Western Europe, and more generally by the ease of travel between countries, further to the creation of the European Union, and moreover to the supression of visas and the good on the appearance of the flights of low-cost planes which allow to travel from a country to the other one for less of 100euros. The sex tourism developed on the exploitation of the disparities of standards of living. As long as this poverty will not be reduced, the prostitution cannot be overcome… For the tourist, he became simpler and cheaper to go in Ukraine where in Thailand. The tourism of the sex in Europe so became a real market. In certain countries agencies publish openly announcements in the press or on the Internet, propose organized circuits, throw promotions... The child, also, is the goods. Even if the governments often refuse to admit it, we know that minors are the prey of sexual tourists in Russia, in Ukraine, in Czech Republic... In Kiev, according to the NGO(NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION) SCHOOL OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES, 11 % of the prostituted people would have between 11 and 15 years and 19 % between 16 and 17 years. And in 2005, Unicef considered that 50 000 German tourists cross every year the German-Czech border to make an excessive use of children. The sex tourism in Europe so takes its place in the economy of a country. For example in Czech Republic, in 2007, the monthly income of " the sex industry " would have amounted to 400 million euros approximately. How to fight against a phenomenon which establishes such an economic impact? |
