Sex Tourism: Marginal People And Liminalities

It examines the emergence of tourism products and destinations based on sexuality, such as the major gay events in Sydney and San Francisco and child prostitution, sex slavery and mail order brides are also discussed - situations wherein, arguably, senses of positive self-identity are denied. The authors have generated new models to show different dimensions of sex tourism. These normalise at least some components of the sex industry and represent a new way of looking at sex tourism. They may challenge the preconceived perceptions that some people have of sex tourism or confirm the impression of others. Sex tourism looks at issues of importance to those working in tourism, women's studies, gender studies and social change.
