Increasing, travelling child sex offenders use online technologies to facilitate their crimes.</p><p>SECTT is not another form of tourism, it is a crime – and should be named as such. Offenders who abuse and exploit children are not ‘sex tourists’ – they are criminals. </p><p>SECTT had previously been referred to as ‘child sex tourism’, however, this terminology fails to name the criminal nature of child sexual exploitation, and instead implies that these crimes are some form of ‘tourism’. Instead, the phrase ‘child sexual exploitation in travel and tourism’ should be used.</p><p><strong>According to the <a href="http://luxembourgguidelines.org/english-version/">Luxembourg Terminology Guidelines</a>:</strong></p><p>A child is a victim of sexual exploitation when she/he takes part in a sexual activity in exchange for something (e.g. gain or benefit, or even the promise of such) from a third party, the perpetrator, or by the child her/himself.</p><p>A child may be coerced into a situation of sexual exploitation through physical force or threats.</p><p>However, she/he may also be persuaded to engage in such sexual activity as a result of more complex and nuanced factors, either human or situational, including a power imbalance between the victim and the perpetrator. While any child may be sexually exploited, children may also find themselves in a situation that makes them particularly vulnerable to such exploitation (e.g. poverty, abuse/neglect, unaccompanied/homeless). Furthermore, the age of a child may increase her/his vulnerability to sexual exploitation, with older children often mistakenly assumed to be either consenting to their own abuse or not in need of protection. </p></div> </div><div class="eael-accordion-list"> <div id="what-are-the-drivers" class="elementor-tab-title eael-accordion-header" tabindex="0" data-tab="2" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-2542"><span class="eael-advanced-accordion-icon-closed"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span><span class="eael-advanced-accordion-icon-opened"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span><span class="eael-accordion-tab-title">What are the drivers?</span><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-toggle e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-right" viewBox="0 0 256 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z"></path></svg></div><div id="elementor-tab-content-2542" class="eael-accordion-content clearfix" data-tab="2" aria-labelledby="what-are-the-drivers"><p>Harmful social attitudes regarding gender, childhood and cultural norms coupled with silence or even tolerance gives offenders, particularly travelling sex offenders, a feeling of anonymity and impunity. There is a clear nexus between the sexual exploitation of children by travelling sex offenders, early and forced marriages, the online sexual exploitation of children and the trafficking of children for sexual purposes. Moreover, various travel products put children at risk of exploitation, such as voluntourism, orphanage tourism or mega events.</p><p>According to the <a href="https://protectingchildrenintourism.org/resource/the-global-study-on-sexual-exploitation-of-children-in-travel-and-tourism-2016/">Global Study on the Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism</a> (the first and, to date, the only research initiative by 67 partners that has attempted to bridge this knowledge gap) no country is immune to this crime and child protection needs to be urgently prioritized through multi-stakeholder and multi-sectoral approaches.</p><p>Few countries have effective legislation to stop travelling child sex offenders – and the challenges are huge. Among these challenges is the fact that it is difficult to gather accurate and comparable data on the sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism (SECTT) also due to a hidden nature of this crime.</p></div> </div><div class="eael-accordion-list"> <div id="what-are-the-impacts-on-children" class="elementor-tab-title eael-accordion-header" tabindex="0" data-tab="3" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-2543"><span class="eael-advanced-accordion-icon-closed"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span><span class="eael-advanced-accordion-icon-opened"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-accordion-icon e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span><span class="eael-accordion-tab-title">What are the impacts on children?</span><svg aria-hidden="true" class="fa-toggle e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-right" viewBox="0 0 256 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M224.3 273l-136 136c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.6-22.6c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l96.4-96.4-96.4-96.4c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9L54.3 103c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l136 136c9.5 9.4 9.5 24.6.1 34z"></path></svg></div><div id="elementor-tab-content-2543" class="eael-accordion-content clearfix" data-tab="3" aria-labelledby="what-are-the-impacts-on-children"><p><span class="color_20">The impacts of child sexual exploitation are wide-ranging, and can be profound and long lasting.

Children are at risk from travelling child sex offenders, who take advantage of poverty, social exclusion and vulnerability to abuse and exploit.</p><p>In recent years, a growing number of global, regional and national entities have taken innovative measures to ensure that as the travel and tourism industry evolves, child protection is taken into consideration.</p><p>There is no doubt that the international response to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 had a massive impact on the travel and tourism industry.

the promotion of the rights of children:</p><p><em>Tourism activities should respect the equality of men and women; they should promote human rights and, more particularly, the individual rights of

is the negation of tourism; as such, in accordance with international law, it should be energetically combated with the cooperation of all the States concerned and penalized without concession by the national legislation of both the countries visited and the countries of the perpetrators of these acts, even when they are carried out abroad.</em></p><p><strong>Art 9.6</strong> refers to the media
