Sex tourism is a very lucrative industry that spans the globe. Countries that have become prime destinations for tourists seeking sex include: Malaysia, the Phillipines, , Thailand, Mexico and Central America. It is estimated by the non-profit organization End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography, and the Trafficking of Children, (ECPAT), that more than one million children worldwide are drawn into the sex trade each year.
Many nations with with thriving sex tourism industries suffer from wide spread poverty resulting from turbulent politics and unstable economics. Children in families who are illiterate, with limited employment opportunities and bleak financial circumstances are easy targets for procurement agents in search of young children. They are lured away from broken homes by "recruiters" who promise them jobs in the city and then force the children into prostitution. Poor families have been seen to prostitute their children or sell them into the sex tourist trade to obtain needed money. In some countries, female children have fewer educational opportunities or the skills for employment and are forced into this means of earning a living.
