A Dutch brothel chain says it's hoping to open a branch at Schiphol Airport here next year. The aim, apparently, is catering to stressed travelers.
``Passengers will be treated to a luxury welcome with champagne and caviar and can opt for a relaxing massage,'' spokesman Theo Heuft of Yab Yum brothels tells Reuters of the so-called Yam Yum Caviar Club. Its primary targets: those in transit with time between planes or early arrivals looking to unwind after stressful flights.
"They could pop in before going home to the lady wife,'' Heuft tells Reuters.
Dutch authorities are believed to be receptive to the idea, but Yam Yum will have to wait until building work at the airport is completed and space in the departures area becomes available, Reuters says.
Prostitution has been legal in the Netherlands for a very long time. The sex industry here is said to generate $920 million a year, Reuters says. But brothels were illegal until the Dutch Senate approved a change in the law in October.
