At some point in ones military career the first sergeant has asked you, “What are you doing this weekend?”. Some of us jokingly responded with, “Cocaine and hookers!” If your First Sergeant was cool he’d laugh it off and tell you, “he better not see you in his office Monday.” Well apparently there is a company that is offering just that for the low low price of only $5000 not including airfare. As you can imagine such an event is probably very off limits to US Service members and government workers. The prostitutes (2 for every attendee) and alcohol are provided free of charge with the hint that the event is drug friendly though it doesn’t specify which type.

According to the various articles the attendees security and privacy is ensured and the women are there willingly and are tested for STIs and STDs
The controversy surrounding the event started last year when they attempted to hold the event in Colombia. Many were not happy with the event more specifically Cartagena where the event was to be held last year. The mayor Sergio Londono made every effort to shut it down and even deport those attending. According to the Mirror He tweeted,
“Unacceptable that they want to sell us as a sexual destination. That is not the tourism we represent.”
Colombia’s interior minister, Fernando Niño, has also said that sex tourism holidays need official permission – and this would not be granted.
He said: “This does not respond to policies against sexual offences, sexual abuse, pornography and for that reason we would not give it authorization.”
As you can imagine an event like this one would raise a lot of flags in regards to human trafficking though the 2 minute video posted to you tube claims the prostitutes are there willingly.
