Routledge - Sex Tourism in Africa: Kenya's Booming Industry

Explore a critical academic study of the sex tourism industry in Kenya through this detailed publication from Routledge. As one of the most popular destinations in Africa for sex tourism, Kenya provides a vital case study for understanding the intersection of tourism development and the sex trade. This book provides much-needed statistics and data supported by in-depth empirical research. It examines the specific conditions that generate this social problem and looks at the features of both tourism and the sex trade within a broader developmental context. The text avoids a moralistic stance to provide a balanced analysis, instead questioning the exploitative nature of the trade, specifically regarding child sex tourism. Readers will find a thorough evaluation of current policies in place and how they impact the industry. This work is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and tourism development, offering a data-driven perspective on complex social issues in East Africa.
