We found that prostitution by country has a fractal dimension and this fractality is found to be considerably induced by the fractality of the levels of GDP among several countries. Tourism accounts for a little less than 10% of the GDP's of countries across the globe. While over half of the nations studied still prohibit prostitution, an alarming proportion of these countries also legitimize prostitution as a legal profession. Economically, revenues generated from the sex workers in countries where prostitution is illegal enter into the tourism industry revenue through substitution: sex workers act as tourist escorts, masseurs and the like in full connivance with many hotel and resort owners. Tourism revenue contribution to the GDP is higher, in fact, in countries where prostitution is still illegal through the aforementioned modus operandi. It follows that no substantial economic benefit could be derived by a country when it allows for the legalization of prostitution.

Individual and organizational performance improvements are the key to competitive advantage. Amidst rapid change, tighter budgets, downsizing and restructuring, and pressures for greater employee accountability, organizations are placing greater emphasis on performance management by translating the organization's objective and strategies into individual job objectives and performance standards (Stone, 2002).
