Child Wise

Millions of people travel overseas every year. The majority of these travellers are responsible tourists or business people who respect the local environment, culture and people. Sadly, however, there are some tourists who use their travel as an opportunity to sexually exploit children. The sexual exploitation of children in any part of the world, including tourism destinations, affects millions of children around the world.

Child sex tourists may be domestic or international travellers who may make a short or extended stay in a particular location. These individuals may be holiday-makers, business travellers, expatriates or aid workers.
