Exploring the male Chinese tourists’ motivation for commercial sex when travelling overseas: Scale construction and validation
2019, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :This heavy emphasis on morality and moralising in the discussion of sex tourism not only contributes to the reticence of academics to research in this area, but also creates practical challenges and difficulties in obtaining quality empirical data on sex tourism. As a result, detailed and empirical academic investigation on sex tourism is scarce (Carr, 2016; Graburn, 1983; Hall, 1994), partially because “[c]onsumers tend to be unwilling to talk of their participation, the industry generally will not comment, and the workers often either cannot or will not comment” (Carr, 2016, p. 190). Despite that prostitution is officially illegal and disapproved of as both morally corrupt and potential risk to health in mainland China (Jeffreys, 2004), and that Chinese society unanimously and strongly stigmatises sex workers and clients, prostitution or commercial sex activities are nevertheless available in China (in the form of street prostitution, hair salons, massage parlours, karaoke bars, and night clubs) (Kong, 2016).
Sex tourism: Romantic safaris, prayers and witchcraft at the Kenyan coast
2017, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :What Ĉesnulyté does not reveal are the different facades and deceits that the women adopt to achieve such ends. Generally romantic relationships between local women and tourists have been positioned as ‘having sex while on holidays’ in the main stream sex tourism literature (Graburn, 1983; Hall, 1994). However, some scholars have questioned this conceptualization and indicated that this is a partial truth (Oppermann, 1998; Ryan, 2000).
Sex trafficking and the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games: Perceptions and preventative measures
2013, Tourism ManagementCitation Excerpt :Considerable attention has been devoted by feminist and tourism scholars to sex tourism, and, although the field is a contested space where the politics of gender and power are played out, theorisations have developed substantively. Graburn (1983: p.438) provided an early definition of ‘prostitution tourism’ which could be “…defined as tourism whose main or major motivation is to consummate commercial sexual liaisons”. Yet Oppermann (1999) argued that narrow constructions of sex tourism, in particular those which emphasised monetary exchange as the central criterion, were problematic.
