'''Sex Tourism''' is when someone visits another area - typically another country - to get laid. [[Squick]]y examples include men who go to various Asian countries for sex with children, or try to pick up kids over the Internet and fly out to where they are to take them to a motel.
 
In some cases, the sex is arranged as part of the package, e.g. as pre-arranged prostitution, or you just go somewhere and you hook up with someone as an ordinary pick up. In the movie ''48 Hours'' (which does not have sex tourism) Nick Nolte refers to the process of someone going out to hook up with someone to have sex as a ''trim hunt''.
 
In the United States, the PROTECT actAct allows US citizens who engage in "illicit sexual conduct" outside the country to be fined and/or imprisoned - if the victims are children.
 
Sex-oriented travel to places where adult prostitution is lawful (such as Amsterdam's red light district) or loosely regulated may still fall with the UN World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) definition of "trips organized from within the tourism sector, or from outside this sector but using its structures and networks, with the primary purpose of effecting a commercial sexual relationship by the tourist with residents at the destination" even if it is not inherently a crime.
