Demographics
Sex tourists are most often male and coming from "Western world" countries. However, the idea that those engaging with sex tourism are entirely white is a misconception - South Koreans spent 12 billion USD on prostitution in 2015. The most common destinations for these sex tourists is to visit less economically developed nations in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia, as well as Nepal and The Gambia. Countries in Latin America like Mexico, Brazil, and Cuba are also common. Cambodian author and trafficking victim Somaly Mam has described in detail how the government overlooked child sex trafficking to Western males.
