The global climate challenge may have been on the daytime agenda during the recent World Business Summit climate conference in Copenhagen, but in the evenings many businessmen, politicians and civil servants are reported to have availed themselves of the capital's prostitutes. "We've been extremely busy. Politicians also need to relax after a long day," says 'Miss Dina', herself a prostitute.
Nyhedsbrevet 3F called various escort agencies and prostitutes to hear whether they had been busier than normal during the climate conference -- and all agreed; summits in Copenhagen are good for the economy.
Dorit Otzen, who leads Reden International says that major events in Copenhagen attract more sex workers. "A lot of men in one place means more work for prostitutes. At the same time we have a government that will not ban prostitution, so in fact we invite visitors to avail themselves of prostitutes," Otzen says.
