Check out the stories about Mt Kemukus in Java. (google Mount Kemukus - sex mountain). Through a deliberate mis-interpretation of an ancient society belief, Mount Kemukus became a sex centre. Several years ago, after the ABC ran a story about Mt Kemukus and the Muslims who traveled there to have sex with complete strangers, away from the watchful eyes of their family communities. the religious authorities became aware of the situation. They justifiably pressured the local government to dissuade the internal sex tourism. There was also a concern from medical workers about untraceable transmission of sexual diseases. As a result many "coffee shops" were shut down. Tourists became embarrassed to go there. Unfortunately the scandal and public notoriety killed the genuine tourism industry. Genuine tourist providers and hostels who were not involved in shady practices forced to close because of lack of business.
