Vietnam is a vibrant Southeast Asian country with a well-developed tourism industry, especially known for "sex" tourism. Among tourists from many countries, Vietnam is considered a sex tourism paradise. Vietnam attracts many sex tourists with its low price, good service, sanitation and exotic cultural atmosphere. Vietnam is not only a destination for thousands of European men, but also a popular destination for sex tourists in Japan and South Korea.
Sex tourism in Vietnam has been developing for a long time and is an important part of its tourism industry. From the early days of "buying sex" to the current large-scale sex industry, Vietnam's sex tourism has been attracting a large number of global tourists. Vietnam's sex industry is fully functional, including brothels, massage parlors, nightclubs, song and dance troupes, etc., and a large number of erotic articles, novels, films, etc. are related to Vietnam, which has brought wider recognition and sustainable improvement to the Vietnamese sex industry. However, Vietnam's sex industry is mostly occupied by foreign capital, and the industrial chain of Vietnam's local sex industry is immature, and it is difficult to achieve self-improvement, which deserves the consideration and attention of the Vietnamese government and industry.
The uniqueness of sex tourism in Vietnam is that although the status of Vietnamese women is relatively low, the contribution of sex tourism to the livelihood of Vietnamese women has even partially improved their social status, and Vietnam's sex tourism industry has broadened their employment routes while also increasing social tax revenue. However, the impact of sex tourism on Vietnamese society is not always positive. Some of them in Viet Nam sometimes intervene in sex tourism through serious human rights violations and squeeze women to create profits, including the phenomenon of sexual exploitation of girls, etc., these are the unfortunate shadows behind Vietnamese sex tourism, which should also arouse our attention and vigilance.
The development of sex tourism in Vietnam is heavily dependent on foreign tourists and foreign capital, while the self-improvement ability of Vietnam's local sex industry is relatively weak, which is a very serious economic and cultural problem. The Vietnamese government and industry should seriously consider and pay attention to the challenges of developing the local industrial chain, and how to promote the self-improvement of the Vietnamese sex industry technology and management level.
Therefore, we must not only focus on the ostentatious and economic contribution of sex tourism in Vietnam, but also look at its impact on Vietnamese society from a broader perspective. While exploring the potential and attractiveness of sex tourism in Vietnam, we need to guide it to develop into a more mature and sustainable industry, so as to achieve the comprehensive welfare distribution brought by the development of tourism.
Finally, we should reflect that sex tourism also contributes to some extent to cultural and moral value transfer. While paying attention to and protecting the local culture of Vietnam, we cannot help but think about how we can learn from and protect each other's traditional culture under globalization, and protect an important part of traditional culture - the indigenous tradition of cultural and sexual relations.
In short, looking at the scale and characteristics of sex tourism from multiple perspectives is of vital significance for exploring the development and challenges of sex tourism in Vietnam, treating the sex industry well and attaching importance to social human rights.
