Say No to Tourism That Exploits the Child
Tourism policies focus on the growth and promotion of tourism and hardly acknowledge the negative fallouts of tourism development. In developing countries, tourism development without responsibility and protective measures has led to sexual exploitation of children in the form of child trafficking, child prostitution, pornography, child sex tourism and an increase in child labour. Through examples of the cases of paedophiles, statistics and research studies, the paper highlights the severity of the problem and tracks the responses on this issue in the tourism policy and implementation space. Our call to the Government of India, the Tourism Industry and World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) is to acknowledge and assume accountability to mitigate this problem.
