BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- The number of tourists seeking sex with children in Asia is on the rise, and more of them are Asians themselves, officials and experts said.

Cheaper airfares, the opening of countries once closed because of war or politics, and the advent of the Internet all provide more options for pedophiles who go abroad looking for underage sex, and "opportunistic" sex offenders who visit bars and brothels on vacation.

Countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam, largely off the tourist map until a decade ago, are now vulnerable, as are established sex tourist destinations like Thailand, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, said Christine Beddoe of ECPAT, an organization that fights the sexual exploitation of children.
