SO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BEATS THAILAND IN THAT AREA?
I have no idea, I doubt it, but I believe its the number 1 "sex tourist" location as well as "sex trafficking" country in the western hemisphere.
"According to one report, more women are trafficked from the Dominican Republic than from any other country in the Western Hemisphere.1"
" The Dominican Republic is one of the most popular sex tourism destinations in the world, and it is advertised on the Internet as a “single man’s paradise.”13 The major centers of tourism are Luperón, Sosua, Cabarete, and Río San Juan.14 The sex industry in the Dominican Republic is thriving, with an estimated 50,000 women in prostitution in Santo Domingo alone who provide a stream of income to brothel owners, corrupt police and other officials, taxi drivers, and hotel guards. At least 25,000 of the women in prostitution throughout the Dominican Republic are reportedly underage, with the total number of women in prostitution in the country estimated by some to be 100,000.15 It is common to see men from developed countries accompanied by Dominican girls.16 "

At least 50,000 Dominican women are in prostitution abroad, mainly in Europe.6 Another estimate puts the total number of Dominican women working abroad in the sex industry as high as 100,000.7 In July 2003, police broke up a trafficking ring that lured about 300 girls and women from the Dominican Republic to Austria and forced them into prostitution. Victims between 19 and 30 years of age were forced into prostitution in order to pay off debts to their traffickers for financing their journeys to Austria and other European countries.8
Dominican women who were trafficked to Costa Rica had been offered jobs as waitresses or in Costa Rican hotels, but they were subsequently sexually exploited in Costa Rican tourist destinations and areas close to port cities. 9
