This article examines the links between tourism and child prostitution in Kenya. Efforts of the police and local NGOs to prevent child prostitution are discussed, as are events that lead elderly women prostitutes to turn girls at a tender age into prostitution to earn a living and the role of (retired) old tourists. The attempts to control the problem are largely fruitless owing to corruption. Although tourism is one of the most important industries in Kenya, concern about social impact of tourism is raised, since in this context the developments of both economic activities are related.
