Sex on the beach: Gambian man marries 85-year-old woman

The Gambia is cracking down on British grannies flocking to the country in search of toy boys and desperate for "quality tourists" to visit the country.

This tiny West African country has been a haven for older women looking for a lover or partner for many years, but the country is now fed up with its reputation as a hotspot sex for mature women from Britain and Europe.

"What we want are quality tourists. Tourists who come to enjoy the country and the culture, but not tourists who come just for the sex," said Abubacarr Camara, director of the Gambia Tourism Board .

Sex tourism in the country has been booming since the 1990s, when low-cost package tours to the former British colony became popular.
