According to a newly released global travel trends report, “debauchery tourism” – or debaucherism – is de rigueur and on the rise amongst twenty– and thirtysomething travellers.
What does debaucherism mean? Serious drinking, gung-ho gambling and the occasional strip club apparently. 25- to 34-year-olds with a "work hard, play harder" mentality are said to be taking inspiration from tabloid celebrities and desperately seeking an adult version of the “spring break”.
Hmmmmm, doesn’t sounds like new news to me. Sounds like a load of old PR hype. Are party fuelled holidays really a new trend? Bars, gambling and a dip into the red light district are surely par for the course for a lot of young people on the road.
Anyway, let’s pretend this is ground-breaking stuff. If you fancy the idea of debaucherism, here are iloho’s top five picks of where to go wild:
Las Vegas: good old Sin City still reigns supreme as the mecca for unfettered debaucherism.
Macau: hot on Vegas’ heels is the glammed up pretender to the debaucherism throne. Macau, home to the brand new Venetian, is jam packed with casinos, bars and restaurants. Beaches and colonial culture provide some respite if the party going gets too tough.
Dubai: what can we say? More distractions than you can sheikh a golden stick at.
Cape Town: clubs, mountains, wines and great whites all in one place – what’s not to go wild about?
Buenos Aires:from tango to techno, hedonists can’t go wrong with this sizzling city.
