Explore the complex relationship between tourism and intimacy in
this new book with a worldwide perspective!
With a unique combination of academic and personal accounts, Sex
and Tourism: Journeys of Romance, Love, and Lust takes you behind
the scenes with motel owners, adventure travel guides, backpackers,
and others working on all sides of the international tourism
industry. The editors have created a model that views the situation
from three different perspectives: tourist, tourism provider, and
nature of the encounter. Unlike other related volumes, this book is
not just about the sex trade, but also about the role of tourism in
love, marriage, and relationships.
The global focus of Sex and Tourism will introduce you to:
off-season romance on the island of Crete sex tourism in Cambodia a
South Korean museum dedicated to women forced into sexual slavery
by the Japanese military the sexual aspects of adventure travel in
Canada cross-cultural marriage in Thailand gentleman's clubs in New
Orleans Australian river guides and their potential liaisons with
clients People who travel to escape their day-to-day lives often
become involved in situations they would never find themselves in
at home. Good or bad, many of these situations are examined in Sex
and Tourism. You'll learn about the illegal trafficking of girls in
Nepal, worldwide programs for combating child sex rings, and the
lethal combination of AIDS and tourism, but you'll also find
accounts of love and romance far from home. You will see how the
tourism industry can act as a facilitator of human intimacy and
what happens when different cultural realities collide.
Anyone involved in recreation, leisure, anthropology, social
science, or tourism will be interested in this book. Sex and
Tourism is an enlightening guide to the complex world found at the
crossroads of sightseeing and sex.
