A Bolivarian Revolution in Tourism!

Drinks, Meals and Sex are Included in These All-Inclusive Vacations
It's Just Part of the Package: Men Legally Buying the "Girl Friend" Experience
Each year, all inclusive resort hotels in the Caribbean, Mexico and around the world attract more and more vacationers.

You know what your bill will be ahead of time for lodging, activities, food and drink. It's a simple way to budget your trip.

The Hibiscus hotel on Margarita Island will toss in the "girl friend" as well.

Margarita Island is a part of Venezuela, and according to the Isla Margarit web site, is a" mountainous tropical Caribbean island paradise."

Wikipedia tallies the population of this tropical island is home to about 420,000 residents, and was "discovered" by Christopher Columbus in 1498.

Margarita island is not the easiest island to get to, at least from parts of the United States, but those (mostly men) who are seeking the all-inclusive vacation experience, including sex with Venezuelan women, will find their way to the island.

It is also a popular spot for European travelers.

Margarita Island is also a popular place for eco tourism and light adventure, as much of the island is undeveloped.

But the sex is a best seller, in addition to the other natural activities.

Prostitution is legal on the island, but it is dressed up for the visitors to the Hibiscus hotel. Usually, the travel-weary men arrive and are greeted by a line up of naked girls. Here they pick a girl that will stay with them 24 hours a day. So like any other amenity at the hotel, the girls are included, similar to the drinks or food or snorkeling. The men, according to hotel owner Paul Baxter in Showbizspy.com, get to enjoy the "girlfriend experience."

The dirty not-so-little secret that forms the underbelly of the tourist trade throughout the world is the huge business that sex tourism brings to local economies. Often, the entire aspect of red light tourism is unofficially embraced by the countries it takes place in, or given light rebuke.

When my boss told me this story I thought it was a joke but apparently it is true.

I find this disgusting but unsurprising given that all his resources appear to be concentrated on rhetoric and not regulation.

Prostitution exists in every country, you'd swear there were no hookers in Ireland.

Yes but sex is not legally for sale and as you well know the johns can often be pursued; here they are feted. It all sounds a little like Cuba in 1958 and not like the great Boliviarian revolution of the people we are told has occured!

Actually I remember the last Minister for justice on the radio saying that sex is legally for sale here if a woman(or man i presume) wants to sell sex from her home that is perfectly legal.

What is illegal is someone else living off the income from people selling sex ( ie running a brothel) and offering sex in a public place (street prostitution).

Or a running a hotel as an Internationally marketed brothel!

McDowell really was a model of inconsistency a neo-con version of Hugo in many ways!

Executive Steve

absolutely disgusting! they should be forced to prostitute themselves in dark needle strewn alleys instead, with no recourse to the law if they are beaten up, robbed or raped!

that's the irish way!


sooner we legalise it completely the better imo. i have no interest in using them, but it seems a bit harsh that the most desperate and vulnerable sector of the population have to suffer unjustly just so we can enforce a morality predicated on a religious mindset that has long outlived it's usefulness.

One doesn't have to be overly religious to see sex for sale as being expolitation of the most vulnerable and ironically quite often most unattractive in society due to their substance dependency.

Base line if you have teenagers selling their bodies to sleazy middle aged types who are typically pissed at best or sociopaths at worst you end up with needle strwn alleys when they are no longer attractive enough to be used and abused by these sexual predators.

Social revolution my arse I've never met any socialist with moral fibre who would permit such a practice to be legal.

we spent christmas in isla margarita and have travelled throughout venzuela previously. this is made up. a quick google shows this hotel does not seem to exist. the hibiscus chains don't have an isla margarita hotel. venezuelans don't even go topless on their beaches and prostitution is illegal all over venezuela.
this is just more yanky propaganda to further undermine a regime which is trying to take control of their own oil.
venezuela has many problems but this is a made up one.
