Tourism in transnational places: dominican sex workers and german sextourists imagine one another. This paper considers howdominican sex workers and german sex tourists imagine each other acrossnati onal borders. Assumptions based on race, gender, class, and nationality are present in bothsex tourists" and sex worke rs" descriptions of one another. My first encounters with sos a"s sex work community were through adominican non- governmental organization, covicosida, which conducts aidsoutreach and education to sex workers. I rarely met sex workers in sos a who had sold sex before migrating to sos a"ssex trade, and i believe th eir status as single mothers is the most decisivefactor in their entrance into the sex trade. The town has emerged not only as a place of fantasy for european male sextourists and dominican fema le sex workers, but also for a variety of dominicanswho hope to find jobs in the tourist economy.
