I think the sex tourism problem is a lot more complicated than the idea that if a place has sex tourists, it's being ruined. I mean, sure, any place would be better off without sex tourism for guys who want to travel or expat there.
I recall in Central America, in places like Costa Rica or Panama, it was ruined because the cities were small and the normal local girls didn't speak really speak English. But in a huge city, you can just avoid the popular spots where foriegners frequent and go more local. Learning the local language will help too.
My opinion is that horny erasmus students and guys on stag do as much damage or worse than sex tourists. They're young and hit on a girls and comsequently obliterate any semblance of exotic value.
