Adult sex tourism (AST), which is unrelated to Child sex tourism (CST), is travel to engage in sexual intercourse or other sexual activity. The sexual activity is generally illegal or stigmatized in the traveler's home and legal or destigmatized in the traveler's destination. An example of adult sex tourism is travel by an adult from California, USA, to Nevada, USA for the purpose of having sex with prostitutes, as prostitution is illegal in California and legal in Nevada. International adult sex tourism is the term applied when the traveler crosses national borders for these purposes. Adult sex tourism is not applied to tourism with the goal of having sex with minors or sex with nonconsenting adults, as in forced prostitution or sex trafficking scenarios.Fact|date=September 2008
