Brothel In Japan
|
Today, Amsterdam is well known for its red-light district and is a destination for sex tourism. The Netherlands has one of the most liberal prostitution policies in the world, and, as such, it attracts sex tourists from many European countries and from the US. The largest brothel in Europe (the Pascha) is situated in Cologne, Germany.
In some countries brothels are legal and regulated, however, the existence of these licensed brothels did not stop illegal brothels from existing: according to a report in the Daily Telegraph (Australia) newspaper, illegal brothels in Sydney now outnumber licensed operations by four to one; according to a 2009 report, in Queensland only 10% of prostitution happens in the licensed brothels, the rest of 90% of prostitution remains either unregulated or illegal; according to some estimates, there are 400 illegal brothels in Victoria.
