The sex services industry has become one of the most popular in the tourist environment in 2024-2025, according to statistics from a famous world publication. Prostitution is still illegal in many countries, but with some knowledge and skills, it is possible to rent a call girl in any region. If law enforcement agencies are looking for hookers on city streets, available beauties use the vast possibilities of the Internet for dating – websites, apps and sites for remote rentals. And escort agencies masquerading as modelling companies or escort organizations are openly operating in almost all major resorts. World practice demonstrates the incredible demand for sex services – a few years ago there was even a special type of tourism, which involves travelling exclusively for the purpose of adult leisure in the company of local individual women. Our editorial staff decided to focus on intimate tourism, studying the popularity of specific countries and regions.
Where should you go for an unforgettable holiday?
Until 5-10 years ago, the Netherlands and Thailand were the undisputed leaders in erotic entertainment. The Netherlands was a pioneer in legal prostitution, and Thailand showed that the intimate industry could be a highlight for foreigners. However, these countries are no longer top of the list for sex tourists, who are now looking further afield, to Latin America and Africa. According to recent surveys, travellers are now favouring the following countries:
- Turkey is a must-visit for anyone seeking unique and authentic experiences. While most countries have a strong focus on the male market, Turkey stands out by offering something for everyone. You’ll find everything from classic prostitutes to specialized erotic establishments, where non-standard services are available. Young Turks are eager to meet foreign tourists, often offering to brighten up your evening at an affordable price, even on the streets, at beaches, and during excursions.
- Mexico is another country that should be on your radar. Budget-conscious tourists have discovered Mexican resorts, where you can get absolutely any kind of intimate leisure. The government has moved away from direct management of the sex-segment, passing the decision to local municipalities, so each state has its own approach to the development and management of prostitution. Some resorts are more oriented to individuals and street prostitutes, while others specialize sites, brothels and intimate salons. Mexico City escorts are in a league of their own, offering an unparalleled range of entertainment and price points.
- Kenya is a top pick for European and American holidaymakers seeking an exotic experience. The country’s economic landscape presents a unique opportunity for intimate services that are budget-friendly. This makes Kenyan beauties eager to meet foreigners, as it’s a quick way to boost their financial standing. However, experts do advise caution, especially when it comes to sharing personal details like addresses or phone numbers, as some may be overly persistent or intrusive.
Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia also feature in the audience ratings, with elite escorts and expensive prostitutes being popular. In the low-cost segment, sex tourists also mention prostitutes in Brazil, Egypt, the Philippines and Ukraine, where the high level of service is available at democratic prices. Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic are well-organized and have high standards of legal work.
Results of the journalistic research
Despite its prevalence, sex tourism is still an obscure phenomenon for many ordinary people, but this does not prevent it from being one of the top travel destinations. For example, many tourists and foreign businessmen will not refuse to spend a few evenings in the company of local prostitutes, even if this is not the main purpose of the trip. In short, prostitution is already widespread in all major world tourism destinations, and in the near future, this type of entertainment will become even more global.
