Ashley Dupre - Sex Scandals Spark Tourism?

Washington? New York? Chicago?

Unless you've been living under your bed for the week, you've heard Spitzer and Dupre bandied around more than Southwest and unsafe planes. We agree the unsafe plane issue is damn important, but the call girl scandal and the tourism it could spark is delicious.

Earlier today we wrote about taking your own sex tour - which is not sex tourism. Skip the museums, hit the Sexy TourismSexy Tourismhotels where you too can live out your fantasies. And GoGirlfriend isn't alone. The blogosphere is lighting up with ways to get your "sexy" travel mojo on.

Enjoy!

GoGirlfriend: Ashley Dupre Does PR for Chelsea Landmark and Mayflower Hotel

GG Staff writes: Spitzer's fall from grace is less than a week old and already tourists have sourced out a new (and let's face it a lot more exciting) way to see the sights in Washington and New York. Sure you could just stay at the Waldorf, but everyone loves a "famous" hotel room, whether it's haunted or merely stained by a hot-blooded politician and his pricy call-girl.

WorldHum: Mashing Up Washington D.C.'s Sex Scandals

Julia Ross writes: "It didn't take long for camera-toting tourists to ferret out Room 871 at Washington D.C.'s Mayflower Hotel."

Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin write: "Forget all those tourists hoping to get a peak of Washington's infamous Watergate Hotel. The hotel hot-spot of the moment is now the Mayflower Hotel's Room 871, where Gov. Eliot Spitzer -- aka "Client 9" -- met with a prostitute on February 13 (it's like the Valentine's Day version of "Good Friday")."

GoGirlfriend: Pole Dancing in Chicago

Julia Rosien writes: "Say goodbye to boring bicycles, treadmills and ellipticals and find a whole new way to kick back with the girls. From now until February 28, 2008, W Hotels is touting the art of the chair striptease - for the good of your health, of course."

What we haven't seen though is blogs on other sex scandals that may have sparked tourism. Clinton and Lewinsky supposedly enjoyed their tryst in the Oval Office, but I'm not sure tour guides will point out the "exact" location.

Have you ever traveled to a place because of a controversy? Where?
