i know nothing out of the germans well i guess sometimes but mostly i'm laughing with the people german thinks deep into the german culture. you repeat his grammar there you go it's all about who knows i'm rachel joining me to get the course. as low and welcome to the 77 percent as some of you already know this is the show for africa as my name is when. it's great to have you guys here now coming up for you on today's program probably the donkey hour before to even him and get his residence in a debate on the downside of close the. elevator takes long that's cause and move those high take on an open non-monogamous really succeed. and finally

welcome us as sony takes us around his vibrant home cities from a home. what do you do if your poor you want to help you finally be financially and someone with loads of money comes along and offers to pay you for 6 . that's the difficult question facing many young gun the 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 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 under 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

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 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 and 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 you. just anyone know that this is the business you were doing here in the gambia. how it works how it started just how the tourist gets connected to the people who have the. however. and they will only be sold. to people see them to talk to them so it's up to them. to demand to

know how much money were you offered that you thought you know what this is actually from. about 1500. $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 their $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. just groups of this was for the moment was it something you felt comfortable with having a profile how did you get. 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 bad. believe. that at. least let me learn let me learn. the well in the market is this how but the. i was looking over the web and i discovered things that. i discovered that. this thing is 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 never feel good in their prime because the 4th time involved after the. start of return is terrible stop feeling guilty about what do you see the people who would like to judge

a drug or even that they have order over the last 3. years it's worth it's the money that would be able to do to help your family a bit so. it doesn't water. i've been on a diet i was really i think what it was i was. a strong sea. 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 governor to sex tourism but it's time to bring that issue to the table in sarah khuda our reporter edith kimani and get 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 i'm plea for i 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 rapid 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 such tussocks tourism ok i want to speak to somebody who is actually an official from the tourism ministry mr hammond but 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 grammar of what is a corridor success stories in this nation it looks like the whole destination is prepared you know. product development 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 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. his investigation 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 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. 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 engaging with gambia is so wired gambians participating so that's actually

a good point that you make because there's a problem we have to sensitize the gap in 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 i think it starts with the young people as well because some of them know 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 cancer on the one hand and we've got to make sure that everything is and in place so when these pedal 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 severus 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 johm 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. you know form 6 whatever but we also have responsible close. 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 . board on the ministry because this policy is already in place come back and ask about implementation but i want to go back to something this is 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 about a town we have about 41.5 percent of young people who are unemployed in this country so you will realize that there is a high tennessee 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 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 potentials i'm sure we have a lot more that we can offer hard and been victims of sex tourism well that's far too little it isn't of much 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. do many gambians want to invest in their country but due to lack of financing cannot do it so most of the people who owns this business are for him last ok so let me go to mr bush on here because we're hearing that yes the industry is hiring a lot of gambians but the conditions are not great. for. 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 are encouraging them to go on the street 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 to him 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. being accused of campaigning 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. people who are working in the industry and also government to reinforce you know. 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 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 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 watch 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 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. tourism can have devastating effects as we just saw but not all tories in use but for example tories in revenue can also help save off because precious eco system sees a band that is

a south african marine biologist student who is guitar means to protect my real life while also providing a decent income for locals in the tourism industry. off the shore of south africa's cape peninsula lies a picturesque marine protected area it's a large storm of around 1000 square kilometers species which were once on the perth 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 life going forward how i am proposing to design marine protected areas is to incorporate also the social aspect the social benefits 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 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 caesar says 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 thumping 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

a cornerstone of the national economy in $2181500000.00 jobs were linked to the tourism industry. as a dive master when we took people. to dive in the m.p.a. areas the reaction after diving is just amazing most of them will be like you are you from raising this in but it makes me feel good added investor of cape town seas of compounds that on modern biodiversity and coastal sites of interest just to estimate 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 with ortiz 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. what an inspiring.

molly's most widely spoken language. his country's musical heritage is a huge source of inspiration for him. to give my music and often takes a turn used traditional instruments because you say down 40 there's. no gosh i think about which tradition instrument to fit best my goal is to create symbiosis music a mix of the modern and the traditional music you know you said music. do traditional. must assume you grew up in security. and he's never forgotten his fruits he often organizes festivals and invites produces as a way of giving back to the young people in these communities and yes i must say i am must assume to system i hope you've enjoyed this tour through my capital the

city of the 3 k. months. later we are one. thank you must the 3 for showing us our all and that was really cool now let's talk about something a little more private how how be with you 6 have you ever wondered if having more than one could spice it up i was sex and relationship expert cause is bob to share have thoughts on how to build and maintain a fully feeling love life. hello there and welcome to the spread a safe space where we get to discuss everything revolving around sex and relationships and i just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to you guys for all the e-mails you've been sending in and the love and the support we really do appreciate today our question comes from a gentleman by the name tobias all the way from a bus or kenya and his email goes dear cats 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 start 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 pleasant 1st she could think that you are already in a relation. ship and we're 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 tobias go to therapy i know there are appeased 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 that 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 the calves. good night. thanks what do you guys think about that you can connect with us through all facebook page all by email and you can always watch more content on our you tube channel that's it from me but don't go away yet i we are in the show must assume was your tour guide are all owned by mccall now you get to hear what this news is he's trying. enjoy. you want to. cut. cut. cut cut.
