Conclusions -
While many efforts have been made at global and
national levels to set standards and develop policies and laws in view of
preventing and combating child sexual exploitation in travel and tourism,
challenges still remain due to: the lack of available data; the legal gaps persisting
in many countries and legal disparities between countries; insufficient
awareness-raising and training; the weakness of child-sensitive complaint
mechanism, care and protection services owing partly to scarce resources and
duly trained staff; the weak consideration of children’s inputs and
participation; the insufficiency of transnational cooperation facilitating the
sharing of information and technical expertise; the lack of prosecution of
offenders and of extraterritorial jurisdiction; and the lack of cooperation
from some business operators.
