Germany a 'sex tourism hotspot'
Relaxed attitude to prostitution has resulted in Germany attracting sex tourists from France, Italy and beyond to visit its brothels
Germany has become a sex tourism hotspot thanks to the legalisation of prostitution, the country's leading feminist campaigner has warned.
Alice Schwarzer, whose book "Prostitution – a German scandal" was published last week, says sex tourists from France, Italy and Scandinavia travel to Germany to visit its brothels.
They are attracted by a relaxed approach to prostitution and legal brothels such as Cologne's Pascha, the largest brothel in Europe, she explained.
"Germany today is a 'sex paradise' for foreigners – thanks to the 2002 reform which permitted conditions that our neighbouring countries are amazed at: large brothels with low fees and flat rates, and 'wellness' brothels," Ms Schwarzer said.
"Foreigners travel from as far as Scandinavia and France by the busload."

Feminist magazine "Emma", published by Ms Schwarzer, this month launched a campaign to get prostitution banned in Germany once again~snip~
Estimates put the total number of sex workers in Germany at anywhere between 400,000 and one million.
According to Ms Schwarzer's research, only five per cent are German, with the rest coming from Eastern Europe and Africa.
