moving off to the grassland

A bit more on Korean cultural impact in Asia. This time: sex tourism 

To avoid the crackdown, prostitution has spread to horseback-riding schools, massage parlours and others. An official at a Mongolian horseback-riding school, which is only identified by the letter “G” and is located an hour’s drive from the city center, said, “When (men who are here as sex tourists) arrive at the airport, they are escorted here. Local women arrive here in a different van. When they move off to the grassland, (the women) are accompanied by the men.” 

I assume that “moving off to the grassland” is done on horseback. That sounds quite romantic, except, obviously, that it isn’t.

The Mongols, according to Marco Polo, used to "move off to the grassland" on horseback all the time. If you know what I mean.

It's the old Korean stereotype again, isn't it? 'Koreans do things to the extreme (possibly Max, I dunno)' Your stereotypical Japanese sex tourist goes to Thailand/Indonesia to play 'golf', which is a fairly manly pursuit, but the Koreans go 'horse-riding'. Ultra-manly.
