Paul Adhoch heads the United Nations aid agency Trace Kenya, which battles the trafficking of children.
He believes sex tourists in Kenya are creating a crisis.
"They are not relaxing at some beach or enjoying the wildlife," Mr Adhoch told the ABC's 7.30 program.
"They are, specifically, deep in the communities, in poverty stricken areas looking for sex — nothing else."
The port city of Mombasa has been a centre of trade for hundreds of years and is now a hotspot for underage prostitution.
Trace Kenya estimates there could be as many as 40,000 child sex workers in the city, and the trade extends up and down the coast to the seaside resort towns of Malindi and Diani.
