Most popular Amsterdam sex tourism spots close doors for three weeks

Popular Amsterdam sex tourism spots are closing their doors for at least the three weeks that the new strict measures against the coronavirus will be in place. The Red Light District is currently so deserted that staying open is not worth it, Cor van Dijk, director of the Otten Group and chairman of the entrepreneurs' association in the neighborhood, said to Het Parool. The closures include erotica stores like Casa Rosso, the Bananenbar and -club, Theater 97, Hospitalbar, the Erotic Museum, Peepshow, and Sexy Loo. The sex tourism spots will be closed until at least then.
