The present article includes an overall outline of the problem of women travelling for sex related purposes (that are specified as women’s sex tourism). It was demonstrated that little is known about this issue, which is the result not only of the fact that there are very few studies concerning this issue but also of the problems concerning the definition of the phenomenon. The Author while analyzing the result of his own research as well as the literature available points to selected issues concerning the understanding of the phenomenon of women’s sex tourism as well as the data selected from this area including women’s destinations, relations with local men and the structure of those persons who participate in this type of trips.
