sex tourist
Travels for exploitation
A sex tourist is someone who travels to another country primarily to engage in sexual activity, often because the destination offers cheaper prostitution, less legal enforcement, or access to acts illegal at home.
The term carries strong negative connotations, implying exploitation of economically vulnerable populations: The resort town was notorious for attracting sex tourists from wealthy countries.
