specializing. in the moment arrived. at a low and a welcome to the 77 percent as some of you already know this is the show for off with because my name is when. it's great to have you guys you know coming up for you on today's program. the hour before to even the money engages residents in a debate on the fate of closing. bell that's

causing me the high take on an open not one of them but we listen. and finally wrap up must have so many takes of the wrong things vibrant home cities some of. what do you do if you're poor you want to help you find the financially and someone with loads of money comes along and offers to pay you. that's the difficult question facing many young gun a gun and a dictatorship 2017 and even after the leadership change you with unemployment is still over 40 percent so it's not surprise that some young attorney into prostitution but how high is the price for a better life. to gambia a small country in west africa and a hot location for sex tourism we head to the coastal city of sara condor. road is

the go to spot for parties and prostitutes at night the bars are buzzing with young locals and older tourists both men and women. in the side streets plenty of hotels of the rooms by the hour we want to hear from the prostitutes themselves. why do they do this and how do they really feel about it. we're on our way to meet a bump as the male sex workers are known locally just now we're so lucky someone called us and said we can talk to you so we're driving there now let's see what he says hopefully we get him on camera. right him as he calls himself goes to bed with men and women for money. does anyone know that this is the business you were doing here in the camp. how it works how it starts is how the tourists gets connected to the people you know. how everyone. and the only. 2 people see them to talk to them so it's up

to them through. the group to sleep in the how much money were you offered that you thought you know what this is actually. about 15021500 euros might sound like a lot but it's not for this price brahim is at the whim of the sex tourist 24 hours a day for a whole month with this money he can support his family and his kind of his habit he smokes to forget is there one point where your brain switched and you said it's fine i have to do it so i might as well enjoy it. and. it was good for business for the moment was it something you felt comfortable with . how did you feel for. the majority of tourists to the gambia come from great britain the netherlands and

belgium many are looking for sex the client longs for a certain kind of companionship while the sex worker longs for a different life the only politician to get worked up about this is tourism minister how much bar. believe. that at. least let me learn let me learn. the things in the market is this how but. i was in new york. and i discovered things that. i discovered that the distance a good. reputation for sex tourism is not new but there's little politicians can do about it the bump there's a simply offered too much money to refuse but what are they sacrificing in return. do you feel good at any point. and ever feel good about on the ground because the

4th time involved after the. start of regret when you started work to stop feeling guilty about what do you see the people who would like to judge a drug or even that they have called over the last 3. years it's worth it's the money that you did with it it's hope you're feeling a bit and i saw. this but it doesn't. deny that i was being i think what it was an awful lot of stress see. tourists bring in money that much is clear. but can any amount of money really make up for the effect that sex work has on the young people here. wow that's the truth not everyone is happy to hear the minister of tourism criticize us and other journalists for linking the governor to sex tourism but it's time to bring that issue to the table in farah khuda our reporter she money and

gets in a heated debate with young residents people walking in the tourism sector and government officials however not a single sex worker was willing to participate that just goes to show how talking about sex turns in. gold the smiling coast of africa and looking at the shorelines across the at. mantic it's easy to see why the gambia is a very popular destination for tourists but equally those escaping the winter in europe but what are some of the unintended consequences of tourism well i have a group of young people here who are going to help me answer that question and i'm going to start with killer is actually a rapper but he uses his music to amplify the voice of young people and the issues around here so killer ace of heard it said that the gambia is

a sex tourism hot spot is a true. absolutely it definitely is a hot spot. i could understand if it was only limited towards people who are on the same category as adults but it's even went down to a level where you see paedophilia like on a rampant basis children as young as 9 years old you know being preyed on by tourists you know so it's not just the sex tourism of prostitutes and women are beautiful gagnon women you know but also the young generation who are coming up and are being exploited by you know star sex tourism ok i want to speak to somebody who is actually an official from the tourism ministry mr hummingbird john you are the senior product development officer in the ministry you've heard what the young man has said but you minister has said that this is not true so where is the contradiction well if you say it is a sex tourism destination that's where the const contradiction is. nobody is saying there's no sex tourism in the camera but if you call it a success tourism destination it looks like the whole destination is prepared you

know. product developed you know market sex tourism destination which is the minister's argument ok so potato potato here it sounds to me but when you deny that this is really happening in the country don't you think you also deny people a chance to solve the problem again i insist on what i said in the beginning that there's no denial of sex tourism taking place in the country because we're seeing it what we're denying is people calling sex tourism destination so it's not potato potato it's this is the difference you need to do. the line between the 2 whether the destination is a sex tourism destination or they sex just sex tourism going on i am not denying it or if the minister says it's not a sex tourism business and i'm not aware of that. ok yeah i mean my point being i believe the minister have to understand that his country is being labeled as a sex tourist destination by who the sex tourists who come there and feed back the information and market gambia as a sex tourist destination so we're seeing that it's definitely happening and it's

happening openly even in places like restaurants so i just want to ask though because we're talking about these stories coming into stories coming in but they're engaging with gambia is so why are gambians participating so that's actually a good point that you make because there's a problem we have to sensitize the gamete communities a little bit more there's got to be a grassroots effort to educate the families because at the end the other day if a family is poor they're making a $1000.00 see a mother and almost certain this white european male or female comes with thousands of pounds thousands of dollars offer to take their child to europe give them a visa give them a better life they turn a blind eye and that is what the issue is and i think it starts with the young people as well because some of them are no they're 18 they're 17 they're 16 they know what these people are coming here for but again it's the poverty at the same time though the hotels they can't turn a blind eye the policeman can't on the one hand i and we've got to make sure that everything is and in place so when these peddle fly it's all these dirty harry's that's what we call them dirty harrys back in the day these dirty harry's a dirty sarahs when they come to the gambia they know that is

a no nonsense policy ok i want to speak to a gentleman from the tourism committee whose name is sulaiman john and is it a question of marketing or is it just that people have become complacent that this is how things work here and this is how they will continue to work days from thing that week or responsible tourism and discuss who is you know who may have come here just to have you know form 6 but we also have responsible tourists coming here to devour. our local communities i think this is something that is a holistic approach that we need to take to at least. you know responsible. be. on the ministry because this policy is already in place come back and ask about implementation but i want to go back to something there's a cause and effect to 6 years in the cause being unemployment can you talk to me about that was a situation like for young people here this courageous because like we were talking to out of town we have about 41.5 percent of young people who are unemployed in

this country so you realize that there is a high tendency of young people getting themselves involved in certain acts that can just give them income but also i believe the government will be watching to know that young people are tired and even though we're talking that opportunities are there but we still have 41.5 percent who are still unemployed if we start investing in young people and believing in their potential i'm sure we have a lot more that we can offer higher than being victims of sex tourism well that's far too little ladies and gentlemen she actually has to rush to the airport so if you don't see her again that's why you're a waitress you've been working in the industry for about 3 years have the owners been gambian or have they been foreign most of dems are foreign in many gambians want to invest in their country but due to lack of financing do it so most of the people who owns this business are for a mass ok so let me go to mr bush in here because we're hearing that yes the industry is hiring a lot of gambians but the conditions are not great. before i stood up and said to

the minister the minimum wage for for for people working in the industry is so low and if you ask people to pay $1500.00 to a waiter then you encourage them to employ people who are not skilled and this is the problem with our service industry so i said to the minister and i proposed i jokingly said if i actually was the minister for tourism and everybody laughed this is what i'm going to do i'm going to put a minimum wage for tourism employees a waiter for $7000.00. that would have. done that would actually. you're being accused of campaigning yeah yeah so i just want to bring this to a close and look for solutions because i think it's important looking forward how do we create a balance so that the gambia is not swallowed by the negative effects of tourism and i'd like to hear from you mr slim. could be drawn through. responsible tourism and try to become passage of people who are working in the industry and

also government to reinforce you know. i have to cut you short because our batteries are running out so i want to hear from you very quickly well i think the government 1st of all should make sure that all of the money that is generated from our 2nd highest honor goes back to the people so that the people will be poor enough to always come back here and be exploited one and also for the government to work on all year around toryism i believe that there's more opportunities and there's more ways to fix issues that we are facing i think we can do anything not just well as well so the gambia is where we are a country named after a river and one that has had a very checkered history but clearly based on what we've heard here there's a long way to go and young people clearly have the solutions thank you for watching . thank you as always for bringing us this discussion you can watch a lot of passion of the debate on you tube tourism can have devastating effects as

we just saw but not all tourism is bought for example tourism revenue can also help save off because precious system fees are seen by and that is a fall for african marine biologist student who is determined to protect my rain life while also providing a decent income for locals in the tourism industry. off the shore of south africa's cape and into la la is a picturesque marine protected area it's a large stone of around 1000 square kilometers species which were once under threat in this region are now able to thrive. she's helping to identify which of them are in areas should be given protection status this will also benefit locals aswell as marvin's life going forward how i am proposing to design marine protected areas is to incorporate also the social aspect

the social benefit that people can derive from marine protected areas so we're not just protecting the natural environment but we also protecting the benefit that people can get out of marine protected areas now and in the future fission is a traditional industry along the coast the tourism could provide residents with even better paying jobs. archaeological artefacts have been discovered a land for example in table mountain national park that dates back thousands of years caesar says these sites could also be incorporated into an even larger protected area and it would assure you have tracked plenty of visitors found that some communities didn't realise that there was tourism potential in the area and that they could switch from harvesting to thumb thing like tourism taking people out teaching people about the area using the indigenous knowledge which people are

so hungry for $4.00 to $5.00 tourists in south africa come to visit protected areas tourism is a cornerstone of the national economy in $2181500000.00 jobs were linked to the tourism industry in. west as a dive my stuff when we took people. to dive in the empty areas the reaction after diving is just amazing most of them will be like you are you from a using this in that it makes me feel good and a investor of cape town sees a composite on mars in biodiversity and coastal sites of interest she also estimates the social impact of creating protected areas a lot of the time what we do is we don't acknowledge that people are part of the system we think conservation has to be on the one side people on the other side but we are part of a system sees us research will help authorities decide which areas should be given

protection status making sure that south africa's natural beauty remains untouched while also creating revenue through tourism it's a win win for people on the nature. what an inspiring initiative. now let's head not far away from south africa's coast to miley's capital bamako it's a vibrant city moves to its all the local sound here is a mixture of modern music and people don't take my what for we. must assume we played guide for a day and showed us around his home city. yes i must. assume it is a good leader sister of the street noir the voice of the voiceless marco my character the city of the 3 came and come with me and discover my city. is my life aka my stuff so me it's one of molly's most famous rapids he was born in

a gentleman by the name tobias all the way from a bus a canyon and his email goes dear cat i've been married for over 15 years now and as much as i love my wife things have been a little bit dead in the bedroom for a while i don't know how to spice things up anymore and have been considering opening the marriage but i don't know where to begin i truly love her but i am extremely unhappy in that department help oh my dear tobias you would be surprised how often i get this question so many people are under the impression that opening a marriage is the solution to a sexless marriage but it's not let me explain couples who agree to an open relationship have a really strong lines of communication and more often than not have been having these conversations from the beginning of their relationship an open relationship is a beautiful concept and i support it completely but it requires so much more love and support than a monogamous relationship you and your partner have to be clear as to the reasons why you want to stop seeing other people and not we're trying to save our marriage

imagine asking your wife to open the relationship so that you can satisfy your sexual needs there are so many different responses that you get to that question and i warn you not all of them will be present 1st she could think that you're already in a relationship and were just looking for a way to tell her this might make us feel unwanted or neglected maybe she'll think that you're looking for a way out of the relationship and regardless of how many times you tell her that you love her she might not believe you but i understand it's a tricky situation so here are a few suggestions that will help you strengthen your marriage to. go to therapy i know there are deemed taboo in so many different african context but to be frank sore open honest relationships a therapist can act as a mediator between you and your wife and help you fix any underlying problems you might have before you decide to make the next big move let your partner know that you're willing to work together to fix things. chances are she's dealing with her

own issues and she's not even letting you in on the most important thing is that she feels loved and respected and if after you've fixed all of your problems you still feel the need for an open relationship ask your wife in a kind and respectful manner if she's still eager to pursue an ethical non-monogamous relationship put everything on the table and be ready for her response from me cavs good night. thanks what do you guys think about that you can connect with us through our facebook page all by email and you can always watch more content on our you tube channel in our next edition our report to you money travels to south africa. in many other african countries young people yeah i expect to support their families financially i phone as they have a job is this just value directly or does it face to my special or down to the racial cliques still that the father. that's
