Tourism is promoted as a development tool to stimulate economic growth in local economies. Tourism development without responsibility, accountability and protective measures in India has also led to sexual exploitation of children in the form of child abuse, child trafficking, child prostitution, pornography and child sex tourism, and consequently increase in child labour. In turn increase vulnerability of children to drugs, crimes, HIV/AIDS, and alienation from communities and families. In this regard, international and national laws need to be in place to combat this negative aspect of tourism. The enforcement of the law is more important than the law itself. Legal axiom is business promotion and tourism promotions cannot be at the cost of human rights violations.
