On that because if you go take on an open nonmonogamous we may succeed. And finally must also meet takes us around his vibrant home city but. What do you do if youre poor you want to help you find the financially and someone with loads of money comes along and offers to pay you. Thats 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 its not surprise that some young gun violence attending to prostitution but how high is the price for a better life. Gambia a small country in west africa and a hot location for sex tourism we head to the coastal city of sara conda. 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. Were on our way to meet it as the male sex workers are known locally just now were so lucky someone called us and said we can talk to you so were driving there and now lets 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 were doing here in the county. How it works how it started how the tourist gets connected to the people at the. Well how everyone. And well only be so full of all people see them to talk to them so its up to them. To see you know how much money were you offered that you thought you know what this is actually. More about. 500. 1500. 00 euros might sound like a lot but its not for this price for humans 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 their one point where youre bringing switched on you said its fine i have to do it so i might as well enjoy it. And i drove over. This group so this was the most was it something you felt comfortable with. For the truth of 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 a different life the only politician to get worked up about this is tourism minister how much bar. Would. Believe. That at. Least let me learn let me learn. The letter in the. Midst. Of the. I was looking over the web and i discovered things that. I discovered that the distance a. Reputation for sex tourism is not new but theres 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 about the plan because the 1st time involved after the. Start of regrets when you started work stop feeling guilty about what do you see the people would like to judge if they do agree that you have all the right across the room. Was it worth it the money that did it help your family. And i saw. This but it doesnt. Remember that i was me i think it was an awful lot of stuff i 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 thats 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 its time to bring that issue to the table in farah khuda our reporter edith to 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 sex trends in. Is called the smiling coast of africa and looking at the shorelines across the at. Mantic its 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 im going to start with killer is actually a rapper but he uses his music to amplify 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 its 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 its 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 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 office saying the ministry youve heard what the young man has said but your minister has said that this is not true so where is the contradiction well if you say it is a sex tourism destination thats where the const contradiction is. Nobody is saying theres no sex tourism in the camera but if you call it the Success Stories in this nation it looks like to hold this nation is prepared you know. Product development you know market sex Tourism Business which is the ministers argument ok so potato potato here it sounds to me but when you deny that this is really happening in the country dont you think you also deny people a chance to solve the problem again i insist on what i said in the beginning that theres no denial of sex tourism taking place in the country because were seeing it what were denying is people calling sex tourism destination so its not potato potato its this is the difference you need to do. The line between the 2 where the destination is the sex tourism destination or the sex just sex tourism going on i am not denying it but if the minister says its not a sex Tourism Business and im not aware of that im not aware of that ok yeah i mean my point there 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 were saying that its definitely happening and its happening openly even in places like restaurants so i just want to ask you because were talking about these stories coming in the stories coming in but theyre engaging with gambia is so why are gambians participating so thats actually a good point that you make because theres a problem we have to sensitize the gamete communities live in more theres got to be a grassroots effort to educate the families because at the end the other day if a family is poor theyre 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 theyre 18 theyre 17 theyre 16 they know what these people are coming here for but again its the poverty at the same time though the hotels they cant turn a blind eye the policeman cancer on the one hand and weve got to make sure that everything is and in place ready so when these pedophiles all these dirty harrys thats what we call them dirty harrys back in the day these dirty harrys are dirty severus when they come to the gambia they know that its a no nonsense policy ok i want to speak to a gentleman from the Tourism Committee his 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 are responsible to resume and who is you know who may have come here just to have you know form 6 but we also have responsible tourists coming here to devour. Our local communities i think this is something that is a holistic approach that we need to take at least. You know responsible. The tourism board and the ministry because this policy is already in place come back and ask about implementation but i want to go back to something theres 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 to out of town we have about 41. 5 percent of young people who are unemployed in this country so you would 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 potential im sure we have a lot more that we can offer higher than being victims of sex tourism well thats far too Little Leaves and just much she actually has to rush to the airport so if you dont see her again thats why youre a waitress youve been working in the industry for about 3 years have the owners been gambian or have they been foreigners most of dems are foreign in Many Gambians want to invest in their country but due to lack of finances. So most of the people who owns this business are for a mass ok so let me go to mr poaching here because were hearing that yes the industry is hiring a lot of gambians but the conditions are not great. Before 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 encourage them to employ 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 im going to do im going to put a minimum wage for tourism employees i went up for 7000. 00. That would have. That would actually. You know youre being accused of campaigning yeah yeah so i just want to bring this to a close and look for solutions because i think its important looking forward how do we create a balance so that the gambia is not swallowed by the negative effects of tourism and id like to hear from him is just a name. That could be drawn through. Responsible tourism and try to become passage of people who are working in the industry and also government enforce 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 quickly kill 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 theres 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 weve heard here theres 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. Tourism can have devastating effects as we just saw but not all tourism is bought for example tourism revenue can also help save off because precious sister ceaselessly bond that is a south African Marine biologist who is the means to protect my real life while also providing a decent income for locals in the tourism industry. Off the shore of south africas cape and into la la is a picturesque marine protected area its a large zone of around 1000 square kilometers species which were once under threat in this region are now able to thrive. And biology shes 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 were 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 vision is a transitional industry along the coast but taras them could provide residents with even better paying jobs. Archaeological artefacts have been discovered on land for example in Table MountainNational Park that date back thousands of years caesar says these sites could also be incorporated into an even larger protected area and it would surely have tracked plenty of visitors i found that some communities didnt 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.

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 but it makes me feel good at the investor of cape town sees a composite on mars in biodiversity and coastal sides of interest she also estimates the social impact of creating protected areas a lot of the time what we do is we dont 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 that sees us research will help authorities decide which areas should be given protection status making sure that south africas Natural Beauty remains untouched while also creating revenue through tourism its a win win for people on nature.

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 emails youve been sending in 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 a kenyan and his email goes dear cat ive 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 dont know how to spice things up anymore and have been considering opening the marriage but i dont 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 its 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 were 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 relationship and were just looking for a way to tell her this might make a feel unwanted or neglected maybe shell think that youre looking for a way out of the. A relationship and regardless of how many times you tell her that you love her she might not believe you but i understand its 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 in your eyes and help you fix any underlying problems you might have before you decide to make the next big move let your partner know that youre willing to Work Together to fix things chances are shes dealing with her own issues that shes not even letting you in on the most important thing is that she feels loved and respected and if after youve fixed all of your problems you still feel the need for an open relationship ask your wife in a kind and respectful manner if shes still eager to pursue an ethical nonmonogamous relationship put everything on the table and be ready for her response from me calves good night.
