i know nothing out of the germans i guess sometimes but nice and loving with them even german things deep into german culture. we think it is grammar there you go it's all about who you know i'm rachel join me for me to be the course. at low end a welcome to the 77 percent as some of you already know this is the show for africa has many of these when. it's great to have you guys here now coming up for you on today's program probably the donkey hour before to eat your money and gauges residents in a debate on the docks they don't proceed with. al-qaeda plex well that's because it gives a high take on an open not a lot of them let's really succeed. and finally welcome us as sony takes

a star on his bike ride home city from a. what do you do if your poor you want to help you find the 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 a gandhian and a dictatorship 2017 and even after the leadership change you with unemployment is still over 40 percent so it's no surprise that some young gun violence a turning 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 a bomb 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 back and now let's see what he says hopefully we get him on camera. right he mass 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 only the. 2 people see them to talk to them so it's up to them. to see how much money were you offered

that you thought you know what this is actually could. have. $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. was groups of business for the moment was it something you felt comfortable with. for the little while to 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 bar. we believe. that at. least let me learn let me learn. well in the market is this a big but. i was a little overweight and i discovered things that. i discovered that distance and can. be as reputation for sex tourism is not new but there's little politicians can do about it the pumps just simply offer too much money to refuse but what are they sacrificing in return. to feel good at any point and ever feel good on the ground because the 4th time involved after the. start of regrets when you started work to stop feeling guilty about what do you see people

with my to judge a good reason that we have all the over for them. was it worth it the money that did it is help your family. and i saw. this but it doesn't. jive i was mean 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 a truth not everyone is happy to hear the minister of tourism criticize us and other journalists for linking the gambia to 6 tories but it's time to bring that issue to the table in sarah 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 60. is called the smiling coast of africa and looking at the shorelines across the. 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. 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 beautiful gagnon women you know but also the young generation who are coming up and are being exploited by you know such types of stories 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 office saying 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 when 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 if we call it a success stories in this nation that 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 a 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 draw the line between the 2 where the destination is the sex tourism destination or the sixty's 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 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 the because we're talking about these stories coming in the 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 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 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 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 cancer and we've got to make sure that everything is and in place so when these peddle fly it's all these dirty harry that's what we call them dirty harry's 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

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 we call responsible tourism and discuss who is you know who. you know form 6 but we also have responsible to those who are coming here to develop our local communities i think this is something that is a holistic approach we need to take at least. you know responsible through the air tourism board and the ministry because this policy is already in place i'll 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 discoloration 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 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 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 died and been victims of sex tourism well that's far too little leaves and just 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 finances they cannot do it so most of the people who owns this business are for a mass ok so let me go to mr porter in 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

a waiter then you encourage them to mistreat and employ people who are not skilled and this is the problem with our service industry so i said to the minister and i proposed. 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 that would actually let you. know 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. people who are working in the industry and 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 won't be poor enough to always come back here and be exploited one and also for the government to work on all year around horses and 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 and i just wasn't 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 longer version of the debate on youtube. tourism can have devastating effects as we just saw but not all tories unease but for example tories in revenue can also help save off because precious excess system ceaselessly by and that is

a south african marine biologist student who is determined to protect my real life while also providing a decent income for locals in the tourism industry. off the shores of south africa's cape peninsula lies 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. in balochi she's helping to identify which of them are in areas should be given protection status this will also benefit locals as well as marlene 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 i dove marine protected areas now and in the future vision is a transitional industry along the coast the tourism could provide residents with even better paying jobs. archaeological artifacts have been discovered a land for example in table mountain national park that date 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 realize 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. 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 me using this in that it makes me feel good and a investor of cape town sees a composite on modern 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

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 can 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 therapy is 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 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. relationship put everything on the table and be ready for her response from me calves. good night. thanks kat 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 we are in the show must assume he was your tour guide are all and now you get to hear what he does best music is he's trying to. enjoy. her you want to. cut. cut cut cut cut
