Bumster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Young locals in the tourist resorts of Gambia who seek contact with tourists, especially women, in order to profit from them economically are referred to as bumsters ('Schnorrer') .

Bumsters offer themselves unsolicited and persistent as help and accompaniment for tourists. For this they receive commissions and expect money from the traveler at the latest when they leave, often also invitations to Europe . They speak good English, often even German, but they almost always lack the qualifications to be a real tourist guide . The bumster has become a problem for the tourism industry in Gambia, as in 2004 every second tourist stated that they felt bothered by the bumpers. In many cases, however, the services of the bumpers are desired and contacting them is the real purpose of a trip to the coast of Gambia. Fucking is also a disguised form of sex tourism in which the young men do not receive any direct payment for sex. The women usually only pay for the hotel and the meals they share and give consumer goods to their vacation lover.

Female sex tourism

Thailand or Indonesia ( Bali ) and then to Kenya , Gambia and Tunisia . It is estimated that 600,000 Western women traveled as sex tourists from 1982 to 2007. The annual number of North American and European women traveling to Jamaica as sex tourists is estimated at 80,000.
