Sex on wheels: a new Tourism Initiative?

The Irish Independent reported the following amusing story recently. a "Brothel Bus" which cruised Miami Beach offering lap dances and drinks has taken it's last ride, police said.
The sleek black bus cruised the South Beach neighbourhood popular among tourists offering rides and unlimited drinks for $40. At the current exchange rate of $1.55 for €1.00 it would seem like a bargain.
Aboard, undercover detectives said they found a fully stocked bar and serveral young women offering sex acts. The suspected operator was arrested on prostitution charges.
The judge did not accept that she was employed in the tourism industry despite the fact that technically she did provide a service to these tourists.
The CSO reported a huge fall off in tourists coming to Ireland in the first quarter of this year which should prompt Failte Ireland to consider offering some new services to entice the visitors.
However with the favourable exchange rate for the dollar, a trip to Miami would seem like an attractive holiday destination. Now where did I leave my Passport?.
