* Implied on ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar (of all places)]] in "Clubba Hubba" when Carlton wakes up the family butler, Geoffrey, his [[WakingNonSequitur reaction]] is "Get your own Geisha!"

Sex Tourism is when someone visits another area - typically another country - to get laid, generally with the locals. {{Squick}}y examples include men who go to various Asian countries for sex with children, or try to pick up kids over the Internet and fly out to where they are to take them to a motel. Less squicky/not-squicky examples (based on your perspective; in media, these are usually PlayedForLaughs) tend to involve things like American men going to Europe (because EuropeansAreKinky) or European men going to America (because supposedly [[ArousedByTheirVoice American women can't resist their accents]]) to pick up women in bars and such, or women going to the beach in Mediterranean countries like Greece, Spain, Italy, or the South of France, or to the Caribbean, where the men are [[LatinLover supposedly hunky and romantic]] and happy to have sex with tourist women from colder climes.

In some cases, the sex is arranged as part of the package, e.g. as pre-arranged prostitution, or you just go somewhere and you hook up with someone as an ordinary pick up. In the movie ''48 Hours'' (which does not have sex tourism) Nick Nolte refers to the process of someone going out to hook up with someone to have sex as a ''trim hunt''.

* In a ''[[Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' episode, Munch goes undercover to bust a travel agent who secretly runs a sex-tourism business for male pedophiles. "We have an arrangement with a local orphanage" in a Third-World country.

* [[NinjaSexParty Ninja Sex Party's]] "Road Trip" is all about Danny going on a cross country road trip to have sex with women all over America, this later escalates to him traveling around the world for sex and finally flying a rocket into space so he can find "hot alien sluts."

* The backdrop of PeterStraub's novel ''Koko'' is the sex-tourism fueled underbelly of UsefulNotes/{{Bangkok}}.

* Michel Houellebecq's novel ''Platforme'' deals extensively with sex-tourism when it's not busy insulting Islam.

* Implied in one of the ''Men On...'' sketches from InLivingColor. The two (''very'' camp) hosts talk about their trip to Europe, upon which they decided to leave Sweden, with its blond, buxom women (''"Hated it!"'') and go back to Greece, where they "bent over backward" for the pair.

* As much of a CrapsackWorld as ''SinCity'' is, it still gets tourists from other parts of the US and even other countries who want to visit [[RedLightDistrict Old Town]].

-->-- ''Film/ShirleyValentine''

* This is {{Inverted|Trope}} with [[HighClassCallGirl Inara]] on ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': she rents a short-range shuttle from Mal, and has to stay with his ship, which takes her all over the galaxy. She meets up with clients based on where ''Serenity'' plans to go next, rather than the other way around. Many of the clients try to convince her to stay longer with them, despite her having made it clear beforehand exactly how long she is going to be there for, but when ''Serenity'' goes, Inara goes with it.

* ''BrokebackMountain'' has a scene with one of the cowboys going to Mexico to anonymously hook up with a local man, presumably to release the stress of having to live in a heterosexual marriage and limit his contact with the other sheep herder to only once a year.
* This is the initial plot in the first ''{{Hostel}}''. At least before things get bad. Fast.

* Pretty much the entire plot of ''{{Eurotrip}}''.

* In ''LoveActually'', Colin goes to America because he figures American girls will go crazy over his cute British accent. It works.
* In ''StealingBeauty'', Lucy goes to Italy and has sex for the first time. Oh, and looks for her father.
* In ''ThePrinceAndMe'', Prince Edvard makes his college choice based solely on seeing it featured in a ''GirlsGoneWild'' video.
* ''SexDrive'' is about a young man who steals his brother's car and drives halfway across the country so that he can lose his virginity to a girl he met online.

* ''Film/HowStellaGotHerGrooveBack'' is the quintessential example of female sex tourism. A woman visits another country and hooks up with a hunky young man. The movie is based on a book which is again based on the RealLife experience of the author. The relationship in real life didn't work out, since said young man was gay and secretly angling for a CitizenshipMarriage to get out of the incredible homophobia of Jamaica; he came out once he got his citizenship and he and the author had a nasty divorce.

* Music/SteelyDan's "Haitian Divorce" (off ''The Royal Scam'') seems to indicate something like this--the woman flew down to UsefulNotes/{{Haiti}} to file divorce papers (a common practice before American divorce laws were liberalized, particularly for New Yorkers[[note]]Haitian divorce laws were long quite liberal, while NY was late to the liberal-divorce party in general and always moved in halting steps--New York didn't adopt non-consensual no-fault divorce until ''[[UsefulNotes/TheNewTens 2010]]''.[[/note]]), and appears to have found a hot Haitian lover.

* Some of the characters on ''Series/{{MASH}}'' have, jokingly, remarked their only/main reason for being in Koreas/joining the war is for the (female) nurses (with sex implied).

* This is what most of the holidaymakers (except the monks) are hoping the package tour in ''Franchise/CarryOn Abroad'' will turn out to be.

* ''Series/TheOffice'' (USA): Jim asks for vacation advice from the other employees. Kevin suggests Hedonism in Jamaica: "It's like Club Med, but everything is naked."
* On ''TheWire'', [=McNulty=] (Dominic West) [[HowsYourBritishAccent pretends to be an Englishman]] in Baltimore in order to infiltrate a sex slavery ring.
* ''MyNameIsEarl'' had an episode where a former Foreign Exchange Student named Pierre wanted to stay in America to get girls, [[EverythingsoundssexierinFrench it works for him.]]
* Some of the characters on ''Series/{{MASH}}'' have, jokingly, remarked their only/main reason for being in Koreas/joining the war is for the (female) nurses (with sex implied). This actually seems to be most true of rules-obsessed Frank Burns, who'd rather sleep with Margaret in Korea than his wife back in Indiana.
