It’s for the cost conscious. Southern hemisphere gigolos are inexpensive.

It is not yet known if there are any casualties from the incident.Oh. Is that what this is? An "incident"?
Like a tourist activity gone awry? An unplanned addition to the itinerary?

"Beach? Mali doesnt even have a coastline." Nor anything else a tourist might be interested in, but Mali does have gold and diamonds, and a lot of it too.
