Institute of Tourism, Fundación Renacer/

the commercial sexual exploitation of children
and adolescents, associated with travel and tourism
in Bogotá
November
23, 2009. One of the negative risks of tourism
in any destination in the world is the use of
its infrastructure and particular conditions for
actions related to the Commercial Sexual Exploitation
of Children and Adolescents (CSECA) by national
and foreign tourists or travellers. In Colombia,
since July of this year, Laws 1329 and 1336 severely
punish the use of children and adolescents for
sexual exploitation linked to tourism with penal
sanctions and the definitive closing of establishments
used for these ends.
