15 Best African Countries for Female Sex Tourism

2. South Africa

While there has been a study indicating that the poverty rate in South Africa has started to decrease, the overall number of people living in poverty remains significantly high. As a consequence, certain young South Africans find themselves compelled to turn to prostitution as a means of survival. Largely unemployed, engaging in sex tourism becomes their only option to escape poverty’s grip. Furthermore, distressingly, some parents actively encourage their children to linger in “white” areas with the hope that they will engage in paid sexual activities. The parents, driven by desperation to provide for their families, overlook the physical, mental, and emotional consequences, prioritizing financial gains over their children’s well-being. The precarious financial situation pushes them to take such extreme measures, sacrificing their children’s welfare in the process.
