Debauchery tourism: travel for partying, sex and drugs
"There is no future! Why save money? Why worry about traditional morality!?", the anything goes attitude when on vacation seems to be the latest travel-trend amongst western 25-34 year-olds, according to the 2007 World Travel Market's annual Global Trends report. A wild spin off the nudist, lifestyle and hedonist resorts concept, the travel industry has tagged this as "debaucherism", and as long as it's legal, the hotels will take care of all your demands. Well, almost all: a complimentary copy of Playboy and a box of cigars in your room, and room-service for sex toys, erotic DVDs, and velvet restraints (!). Some of these hotel rooms that encourage debauchery to attract clients even have in-room stripper poles (hmmm.) Gambling and strip-club tours that include chauffeur driven limousine transport and entry to the clubs and all-day US$5000 in hotel pool-parties are among the popular requests.
The crowd hungry for these types of self-indulgent escapes are mainly recent out of university workaholics who just want to liberate themselves and experiment, or those who get a rise by imitating binge-drinking-and-partying celebrities.
Hot debauchery spots include Las Vegas, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Dubai (!!!!), Hanoi and Macau.

So sad that these kids' lives are so restricted they feel the need to let loose like this.

I was at an erotic adult resort taking an adult vacation with ladies from Eastern Europe, Russia and the like. Charlisangels was a nice experience, I hope other places can be so selective and the women as caring.
