surroundings vibrant home city but. what do you do if you're poor you want to help you find me financially and someone with loads of money comes along and offers to pay you or fix. that's the difficult question facing many young gun a gandhian 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 guardians attending to prostitution but how high is the price for a better life. the gambia a small country in west africa and a hot location for sex tourism we head to the coastal city of serach and center gambia 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
7:32 pm
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. ready him as he calls himself goes to bed with men and women for money. does anyone know that this is the business you are doing here in the gambia. how it works how it starts just how the tourists gets connected to the people at the. however. and you know what it is also. to people see them to talk to them so it's up to them. to see how much money were you offered
7:33 pm
that you thought you know what this is actually the front. of my life over. $1500.00 euros might sound like a lot but it's not for this price brahim is that the women. sex tourist 24 hours a day for a whole month with this money he can support his family and his cannabis habit he smokes to forget is there $1.00 point where your brain switched and you said it's fine i have to do it so i might as well enjoy it. and the world. are those groups of this problem or was it something you felt comfortable with. her approval. how did you feel. 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
7:34 pm
a different life the only politician to get worked up about this is tourism minister how much bar. believe. that. please let me learn let me learn. in the market is this how but at the. i was a little overwhelmed and i discovered things that. i discovered that the distance of god. can be as reputation for sex tourism is not new but there's little politicians can do about it the bumps just simply offer too much money to refuse but what are they sacrificing in return. do you feel good at any point. and never feel good on a prime because the 4th time involved after the. start of return is terrible. feeling guilty about what do you see the people who would like to judge if they do
7:35 pm
agree that we have all the office with him. was it worth it the money but did we did it help your family a bit and i saw. this but it doesn't. mean that i was mean i think what it was for us to 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 a truth not everyone is happy to hear the minister of tourism criticize us and other journalists for linking the gambia to sex tourism but it's time to bring that issue to the table in fair khuda our reporter in miami and gets in a heated debate with young residents people walking in the tourism sector and
7:36 pm
government officials however not a single sex worker was willing to participate that just goes to show how talking about sex. is gold that's mining coast of africa and looking at the shorelines across the. 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 unclip fide 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
7:37 pm
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 beautiful gammy and women you know but also the young generation who are coming up and are being exploited by you know 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's saying there's no sex tourism in the camera but if you call it a success stories in this nation it looks like the whole destination is prepared you know. you know market sex tourism business which is the minister's argument ok so potato potato here it sounds to me but when you deny that this is really
7:38 pm
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 is 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 draw the line between the 2 where the destination is the sex tourism destination or the sex the sex tourism going on i am not denying it but if the minister says it's not a sex tourism business and i'm not aware of that 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 us though because we're talking about these stories coming into stories coming in but they're
7:39 pm
engaging with gambians 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 muffin 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 think it starts with the young people as well because some of them until 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 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 are dirty sarahs when they come to. gambia they know there 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
7:40 pm
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 require responsible tourism and discuss. you know. just to have you know form 6 but we also have responsible to is. to develop our local communities i think this is something that is a holistic approach that we need to take at least. you know responsible through the . 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 discouraging because like we were talking about a time we have about 41.5 percent of young people who are unemployed in this country so you realize that there is a high tennessee of young people getting themselves involved in certain acts that
7:41 pm
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 are 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 that and being victims of sex tourism well that's a fight to a little it isn't just much she actually has to rush to the airport 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 foreigners most of them saw foreign lands do many gambians want to invest in their country but due to lack of financing do it so most of the people on this business are for a mass ok so let me go to mr poaching here because we're hearing that yes the industry is hiring a lot of gambians but the conditions are not great. that we had before. i stood up and said to the minister the minimum wage for 4 for people working in the industry is so low and if you ask people to pay $1500.00 to
7:42 pm
a waiter then you encourage them to mistreat and pro 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 i went up for $7000.00. that would have. done that that would actually. being accused of campaigning. 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 is just a name. basically could be drawn through. responsible tourism and try to become passive people who are working in industry and government to reinforce you know who polices i have to catch up because our batteries are running out so i want to hear from you very quickly well i think the government 1st of all
7:43 pm
should make sure that all of the money that is generated from our 2nd highest owner 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 torres and i believe that is more opportunities and there's more ways to fix issues that we are facing i think we can do anything not just 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 is 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 youtube. 2 are easy and can have devastating effects as we just saw but not all tories in news but for example tories in revenue can also help save off because precious eco system sees a band that is

7:45 pm
people can get out of marine protected areas now and in the future vision is a traditional industry along the coast but tourism could provide residents with even better paying jobs. archaeological artefacts have been discovered online for example in table mountain national park that dates back thousands of years cesar sas these sites could also be incorporated into an even larger protected area and it would assure you have tracked plenty of visitors i found that some communities didn't realise that there was tourism potential in the area and that they could switch from harvesting to thumb things like tourism taking people out teaching people about the area using the indigenous knowledge which people are so hungry for 4 or 5 tours in south africa come to visit protected areas tourism is

7:53 pm
