are popular among the expat communities. Low cost of living and the immense
potential for tourism is attracting a large number of high-income expats to Indonesia. The increased presence of expats in the
country has served as a root cause for sprouting entertainment businesses such as clubs, bars, restaurants and
apartments.

an open attitude towards dating, relationships and sexual services is taken as
business opportunity. Expats fond of partying can find entertainment places in
different parts of the city.

of a scooter during odd hours at night, you may have spotted a high school sex worker.

simply due to sex tourism. One of the world’s oldest occupations, prostitution
is common among all classes of Indonesians. With only a handful of clubs being
an exception, girls who come across are usually prostitutes, whether on
contract or on freelance. Underage and attractive girls in Jakarta have become an easy find
which is a major motivator for the consistency in the existence of sex hotspots
in the city. Recently, popular social media networking site, Facebook has been used for marketing of the
service as well.
