Sex Tourism in Kenya: an Analytical Review
Although the Kenyan tourism sector has been beneficial to the country's economy, it has not been cost free. There are also a variety of negative aspects of tourism development in Kenya, and one of its least desirable characteristics and most visible negative aspect is the impact on
indigenous cultures and values. Kenya's beach tourism has spawned prostitution, crime, and corruption along the coast. Inland, tourists visit cultural villages semidressed, kiss and caress, and offend traditional sensibilities because they are given no code of conduct. But perhaps the most
significant negative impact of the travel and tourism activities in Kenya is sex tourism. This article analytically discusses and reviews the increasingly popular phenomenon of sex tourism in Kenya.
