Latvia 'becoming sex destination'

(19 June 2007)

Riga, the capital of Latvia, runs the risk of becoming a 'Baltic Bangkok', according to local authorities.

Riga has become popular with groups of men on stag trips due to low-cost flights, as well as the city's cheap alcohol and booming strip clubs and bars.

A campaign has been launched this month to stop sex tourism in the northeastern European country. Local women are to be shown the dangers of getting involved with tourists.
