Member Center:
It appears efforts by the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association to establish a red light district outside of Tumon are making progress. Discussions have been ongoing between lawmakers, business owners, and GHRA members with the Guam Land Use Commission that may assist in finding a suitable location to move adult entertainment and massage parlors.
GHRA and the Guam Visitors Bureau have expressed concerns that the growing number of strip clubs and massage parlors that are allowing prostitution are creating a non-family friendly image for the tourists who visit the island. GHRA President Mary Torre says she's hopeful the GLUC will put the issue back on their agenda when they meet next week.
"We will continue to work through it and we hope the Commission will consider it again," said Torre, "so we can start to move forward and start working together to collaborate and ensure we do our part to really develop this area as a tourist destination."
