Cases of sexual exploitation of children are often found in our social environment. Even a place that is supposed to be a fun and safe place for children, namely a tourist destination, can be a place where many cases of sexual exploitation of children are found.

The main data in this study were sourced from previous studies (secondary data) which focused on research related to sexual exploitation of children in tourist destinations.
