sex tourism in Lebanon
"Kamal owns a club in a coastal city north of Beirut which has a reputation as a prostitution hub. In this seaside city, so-called super nightclubs employ exclusively foreign women, mainly from eastern Europe, who travel to Lebanon on "artists' visas." They start off as dancers and often turn to -- or are forced into -- prostitution in afterhours. But Kamal says he prefers employing Lebanese and Syrian women, who are "in great demand among Arabs.""
