The digital menu of sex tourism

On the Internet, escort websites have multiplied to the thousand becoming

a north for those seeking sex tourism. According to the WTO sector

moves more than 3.5 trillion dollars and "employs"millions.

The World Tourism Organization defines sex tourism as "trips organized from within the tourism industry who use their facilities and networks, with the main objective of performing a commercial sexual relationship between tourists and residents at the destination" - You can not pretend it does not exist, sex tourism is a reality worldwide,and of course, is closely linked to the oldest profession of all time, prostitution. A"transaction" is considered by many as just as the tourists give money for love and givelove a prostitute for money. Particularly I am against this practice, I believe it is no going back to those places that encourage you. By the way, coincidence or not, one of the favorite destinations for travelers promiscuous male is Brazil, followed by Netherlands,Thailand, Philippines, Cuba, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. The women, whoalso have become adept at this type of tourism, seeking sexual adventures mainly in Southern Europe (Italy, Portugal, Greece, Croatia, Spain, among others), the Caribbean, parts of Africa (Egypt and Tunisia) and parts of Asia (Indonesia andThailand).

With the proposal to assist the sex tourists gentsnav.com site offers a navigation servicethat facilitates the search for sites brothels, clubs and escort fri. The system can also be accessed by the GPS of your iPhone. The area of service coverage is global, does that mean that the traveler can see sex establishments and services around the worldprovided they are registered in the system. The most interesting is that it providesinformation such as assessment of customer value, business hours and contact information.

The Magical Kingdom of Gramado

Neither Brazil. Neither Europe.

Gramado resembles a city of Disney.

Anytime. It is I who thank you!" - These words were spoken by a resident of Turf to give back a sheepish "thank you" signaled by a casual tourist seeking information on a city.Indeed, this phrase serves as a summary of the opera represents the spirit of this place.In the magical kingdom of Gramado, the inhabitants are pure courtesy and respect.Treatment to the visitor is done in a cordial, which at first wonder at how we are received. Few places in the world felt so good. Simple things (that should be part of our lives) as giving a "good day" real, respect the crosswalk, or provide information to the next with a huge smile on the face are natural and everyday practices of this site.

 

At some point I suspected that was one of those theme parks of Orlando. Such kindness and ability to receive the people of Lawn offers. In my mental journey was surrounded by players of cartoons, very happy and those who do everything to please us. Saw in each city's scenery, native passersby who easily blended in with my imaginary characters from Walt Disney. I saw people on the streets of Gramado film, welcoming travelers with the same enthusiasm of Mickey Mouse in the Magic Kingdom gate. So how on earth the world's most famous mouse, they skipped all the happiness and received with open arms. I also saw, beautiful women. Sympathy women reminded me Minnie. Ties with red on the head, they strolled on the avenue with their Plutos Borges with an elegance that omitted any sign of irritation of any TPM. Donald Duck also showed up, dressed as a waiter muddled, however well intentioned, served me with great good will a delicious hot chocolate. Suddenly, I see it. Who? The Santa Claus! But hey buddy. The Santa Claus is not a creation of Disney. What are you doing here in my imagination? Can not be! Are you real? Yes! I shook my head to see if there was another one of my hallucinations, and realized it really was a real Santa, of flesh and bone. He waved to adults and played with children in their jalopy when circulating through the city streets. It was not December and neither home. Tuesday was full of carnival. But who cares? Like the other characters in this magical kingdom he also fulfilled his role, that of a fascinating and very well treat the tourists who were there. That´s Gramado!

Organization of the city is proud of.

Like the great Disney World, the city of Gramado tourism faces with very, veryprofessional. A plot between positive efficient public management, residents and tourist trade has made a Turf example to be followed in the category organization. Everything is designed so that visitors feel comfortable and will. To be an idea, the city's public toilet is a luxury. Done in imported marble is extremely clean and has a permanentmaintenance crew. Treatment is king, after all, 90% of the revenue of the place comesfrom the pockets of travelers.

Where to eat?

Lawn stands out as one of the best of gastronomic country. It has everything except fastfood. What impressed me most was the loyalty of the flavor of food. It was time thatwould not eat peas with a taste of peas or carrots with a carrot taste like in Gramado.The food is super healthy, enjoy and replace coca-cola for grape juice. What there is fantastic.
The downside is the price for that is quite salty. If you're short the dollar, the suggestionis to attend the restaurants on the street is that Peter is parallel to fashionable AvenidaBorges de Medeiros.
