Line 1:
'''Sex tourism''' is travelling for [[sexual intercourse]] with [[Prostitution|prostitutes]] or to engage in other sexual activity. The [[World Tourism Organization]], a specialized agency of the [[United Nations]] defines sex tourism as "trips organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a commercial sexual relationship by the tourist with residents at the destination". <ref name ="WTO">U.N. [[World Tourism Organization]] ''[http://www.world-tourism.org/protect_children/statements/wto_a.htm Statement on the Prevention of Organized Sex Tourism]''</ref>
Sex tourism can be used to describe sexual entertainment activities, for example sex tourists may travel to observe live sex shows, sex museums, or tours of [[red light districts]].
Some [[pedophilia|pedophiles]] use sex tourism to have access to [[child abuse|sex with children]] that is unavailable in their home country. Several countries have recently enacted laws with extraterritorial reach punishing citizens who engage in sex with minors in other countries. These laws are rarely enforced since the crime usually goes undiscovered.
