Why are we doing this
Being at the coal face, the tourism industry has a vital role in promoting the safety of children in all countries in the world.
The forums publicise the issues affecting children in our region in tourism and the importance of preventing it. The forums will help:
v Increase understanding of the relationship between tourism and the sexual exploitation of children.
v Identify incidences of child sex tourism and how the travel industry can respond to concerns.
v Increase understanding of the Australian child sex tourism law and the travel industries legal requirements under the law.
Some facts and figures:
