Eastern Europe "Sex Tourism Destination" for Italians

Society | July 26, 2006, Wednesday // 00:00

Many Italian men and women, single or recently divorced are lately looking for more than just a trip in the summer, and some turn to Eastern Europe, Italian newspaper L'Unita, writes.

In a report on the sex tourism trend among Italians, the paper states that Eastern Europe, or "the land of easy conquests" is a preferred destination for those who don't want to fly overseas to Kenya, Gambia, Senegal or Morocco.

Bulgaria's southern city of Sandanski is given as an example, and the article claims that out of 30,000 citizens, 2,000 are prostitutes.

Now that low-cost airlines allow tourists to travel anywhere at an affordable fare, getting to all the exotic places where sex is a commodity is easier than ever, the paper suggests. This is why Italians, bored of an unhappy marriage, or still looking for the one true love, decide to combine sightseeing with more sensual experiences.
