First European meeting of the main partners in the fight against child sex tourism. Participants’ speeches and contributions

As part of the 23rd Brussels Travel Fair which took place from 24-26.11.98, a large area was provided for the European Commission to present initiatives in the field of combating child sex tourism. The 'First European meeting of the main partners in the fight against child sex tourism' was also held in the context of this professional fair, with the participation of many experts and prominent personalities. This 'event', organised at the initiative of the European Commission, was a genuine first, a far-reaching demonstration that kept pace with the increasing sensitivity shown by European public opinion with regard to the perversion of tourism that is child sex tourism.
