The document sets forth a twofold strategy: first, to reduce demand, in particular through cooperation with the tourist industry and concerned non-governmental organizations, e.g., coordination of information and awareness-raising campaigns, strengthening codes of conduct and self-regulatory schemes for the industry; second, to attack sources of supply in tourist destination countries by all appropriate means, including Community policies on external relations and development cooperation. The document discusses improving knowledge of the phenomenon of child sex tourism; strengthening the effectiveness of laws and law enforcement, including extraterritorial criminal laws; intensifying efforts to stem the flow of sex tourists from Member States; and developing measures to combat sex tourism in third countries. The report concludes that the results of efforts to combat child sex tourism are encouraging, to the extent that they reflect a firm political commitment to resolve a major social problem. However, the commercial sexual exploitation of children is still a reality which, in certain regions, appears to be worsening. Notes, appendix
