SPECIAL REPORTS - CHILD SEX TRADE |
I am not a tourist
attraction!
World Vision Launches
Child Sex Tourism Prevention Project |
Each year, more than
one million children are abducted, forced or coerced into commercial sex
slavery. US citizens are among those from several industrialized
countries who travel abroad for the purpose of having sex with children
as young as seven years old on what is commonly called a "sex tour."
U.S. citizens account for an estimated 25% of child sex tourists
worldwide. This figure is estimated as high as 80% in Costa Rica.

World Vision is launching a child sex tourism prevention program in
Cambodia, Thailand, Costa Rica and the United States.

COSTA RICA TRAVEL & TOURISM |
Letters To the Editor:
Adventures in the eco-wonderland that is
Costa Rica
We have
been to Costa Rica three times and I
certainly have some tips for travelers going
there. First and foremost, one week is just
a tease. It is such a diverse and thrilling
place that to see even one fourth of what
the region has to offer you need at least
10-14 days. Traveling south along the coast
you will see fabulous beaches, amazing
sunsets, and temperatures between 34-36
degrees Celsius every day. Driving the
roads, however, is not a easy task. With the
major surface imperfections, narrow
roadways, and aggressive traffic, it is
daunting to say the least. Don't forget your
sunscreen and your bug spray! There is a
microscopic mosquito that can wreak havoc
seemingly anywhere at anytime of the day.
But I would not hesitate to return to the
country for a moment.
