While the travel and tourism industry’s role in child protection is well recognised, less attention has been given globally to the informal sector. As a result, limited information exists on how the informal sector can help prevent or reduce the risk of child sexual exploitation. This analysis explores the risks children face in the informal tourism sector, how it can be misused by those who sexually exploit children, and documents existing practices to engage the informal sector in child protection. It also examines the role of the sharing economy in preventing child sexual exploitation.
