Is prostitution legal in Seychelles?

Somehow tourism has "close" relationship with prostitution.

To support tourism activities, does Seychelles government legalize prostitution?

Where are majority prostitutes from? Local or imported?

    Prostitution, like drugs is NOT LEGAL in the Seychelles.

    However:

    To find a girl who would do it for some cash is really not hard to find.

    Most cash charging girls are local.

    Some tourists get drunk in bars and sleep around, but usually they do it for fun and not for cash.

    To get a girl for the night at a price, simply go in to some of the local bars or find one in the foyer of tourist hotels on the beach front.

    I'm from the seychelles and just like the other countries around the world you have people that are considered "easy". The person who stated the rape stuff, obviously doesn't know the locals very well or the country. We are proud people and are proud of our country. No prostition is not legal in seychelles, the same as drugs, and any form of pornography, although many companies come to seychelles to film their adult films there. Yes as I was saying its illegal and yes we have people who go against the laws. So do many people all over the world. There aren't that many to be honest. The islands are so small that everyone would know who you are.

    By the way CHIV D i'd love to know where you got your info from for, there has never been an incident where a tourist was drugged and raped.

    Wilhelmina and the other Answerers before me are not correct. Very few Americans know this. Any person may contract with another person in Canada to exchange sexual companionship for money or other things of value. In fact the courts will enforce such a contract (as a couple of American football players found out in Toronto a few years ago when they refused to pay a hired hooker the full amount), Such is considered just a basic business contract. This goes for longer term relationships, not just an hour or one time paid encounter. What is not allowed is using a 3rd, commissioned party for setting up the encounter or arrangement - no pimping or madam-run brothels, in other words, and our legal partner-swapping clubs can charge for drinks and have a non-discriminatory cover charge for entry but not for any actual sexual activity time. Also, street prostitution is treated as an interfering with free flow of traffic or a blocking sidewalk offence.

    Prostitution is totally legal in Canada. However, soliciting for the purposes of prostitution (i.e. asking a prostitute how much he/she charges, and for what) is illegal.
