Globalisation, Technology and Thailand's Sex Tourism Industry
30 June 2020
The research aims to update existing international sex tourism frameworks in the context of globalisation, technology and risky behaviour, drawing on HIV/STI transmission, migration of people, commodification and decriminalisation of sex work and human trafficking etc. – all in a bid to challenge current disease surveillance and implement international health initiatives. With the current pandemic, the focus has adapted to include the impact of COVID-19 on the sex tourism industry.
