10:31 am
us as so many takes our on his bike ride home city. 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. a gandhi 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. for. 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
10:32 am
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. 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 started out the tourist gets connected to the people here. however well connected. and you know what it would be for the world so people see them to talk to them so it's up to them through. most of the group to know how much money were you offered that you thought
10:33 am
you know what this is actually. about 1500. $1500.00 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 the world. was good for business for them or was it something you felt comfortable with. the food 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
10:34 am
a different life the only politician to get worked up about this is tourism minister how much bad. beast believe. that. i'm coming. please let me learn let me learn. this well in the market mr howe but. i was a new look. and i discovered things that. i discovered that the. business of. damaeus reputation for sex tourism is not new but there's little politicians can do about it at the pumps 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 plane because the force involved after the. start of regret when you started will start feeling guilty about it what do you say to people who would like to judge the drug
10:35 am
or even that they have all the oval office with him. was it worth it the money that he did or did it help your family i did and i saw. it doesn't. demand that i was mean i think what it was an awful lot of stuff 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 criticised us and other journalists for linking the gun get to sex toys but it's time to bring that issue to the table in sara khuda our reporter she money and gets in a heated debate with young residents people walking in the tourism sector and
10:36 am
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 atlantic it's easy to see why the gambia is a very popular destination for tourists but typically those escaping the winter in europe but what are some of the unintended caused. quinces 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 complete fied 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
10:37 am
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 of beautiful gagnon 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 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 is a corner the success stories in this nation that it looks like to hold this nation 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
10:38 am
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 to begin in 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 their sixty's 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 day 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 you because we're talking about these stories coming in the stories coming in but they're
10:39 am
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 live in 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 month and all of a sudden this white european male or female comes with thousands upon 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's 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 pedal fly it's all these dirty harry's that's what we call them dirty harry's back in the day these dirty harry's are dirty sarahs when they come to. the 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
10:40 am
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. who is you know who. you know form 6 but we also have responsible. to develop our local communities i think it is something that is a holistic approach that we need to take at least. you know responsible through the . vote 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 tendency of young people getting themselves involved in certain acts that
10:41 am
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 that and being victims of sex tourism well that's far too little it isn't 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 them are foreign i don't 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 bolton here because we're hearing that yes the industry is hiring a lot of gambians but the conditions are not great. for. 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
10:42 am
a waiter then you encourage them to go. out 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 is. that what i'm saying. that 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 to resume and try to become passage of people who are working in the industry and government to reinforce you know to come up with good policies but i have to cut you short because our batteries are running out so i want to hear from you very
10:43 am
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 toryism i believe there's more opportunities and there's more ways to fix issues that we are facing i think we can do anything not just where 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 effect as we just saw but not all tourism is but for example tourism revenue can also help save africa's precious system ceaselessly bond that is the fault of african marine

biologist student who is due to a 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 keep an insular lies a picturesque marine protected area it's a large zone of around 1000 square kilometers species which were once under threat in this region are now able to thrive. in mind biology she's helping to identify which of them are in areas should be given protection status this will also benefit locals as well as my real 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
10:45 am
people can get out of marine protected areas now and in the future vision is a traditional 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 sas these sites could also be incorporated into an even larger protected area. and it would assure you i 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 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
10:46 am
tourism is a cornerstone of the national economy in 20181500000 jobs were linked to the tourism industry. as a dive master when we took people to dive in the n.p.a. areas the reaction after diving is just amazing most of them will be like you know you from raising this in but it makes me feel good adding the rest of cape town sees of compounds that on mars in biodiversity and 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

months. later we are one thank you martha 3 for showing us around 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 a was sex and relationship expert cause is bob to share have thoughts on how to build and maintain a full 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 mumbai 2nd year and his email goes dear cat i've been married for over 15 years now and as much as i love my wife
10:52 am
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 what 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
10:53 am
question and i warn you not all of them will be pleasant 1st she could think that you are 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 buyers go to therapy i know there are 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 fix all of your problems you still
10:54 am
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 we are in the show must assume was your tour guide our own now you get to hear what he does that's news that is he's now enjoy. the mug you want to. get. you going to cut. cut cut cut
