Tourism is an important source of income for countries, areas and locations that brings undoubted benefits such as economic development, cultural exchange and international promotion of a particular place, among others.
Tourism is increasingly accessible for all and increasing number of people have the opportunity to visit more places. However, in the same proportion that has increased tourism also grown undesirable phenomena such as commercial sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The tourist infrastructure, which serves to facilitate the accommodation of travelers and help you enjoy a great holiday, can also be, not consciously, a space to promote and perform sexual activities with minors.
In this sense, the tourism industry has a great social responsibility to avoid becoming an instrument extremely harmful to the community arising from its workforce and is the social basis for the development of the industry criminal activity.

Our Hotel rejects this type of tourism and we:

They will then decide the next steps, which may be:

a) inform their superior b) inform the authorities .
As humans, we are committed to protecting our children and adolescents from all forms of exploitation.
