Eturbo News: The race is on for the first “women’s only” destination.
After Iran announced it is hoping to create an exclusive resort only for female tourists, China has announced it is expecting to open the doors to its women’s only town in the next three to five years.
The Iran project is being constructed in the islands of Arezou and will have facilities including public transport and restaurants that will be staffed by women only, according to Iranian officials. Men will not the be allowed in the resort.
The Chinese’s version of this product is somewhat different. The town will not entirely be men-free, as it will adhere to a concept based on “women come first then men.” According to published reports, female tourists are to act the dominant role in deciding activities, such as where to dine and where to stay. Men who do not abide by these rules will be subjected to a punishment, such as "kneeling on an uneven board" or "washing dishes in a restaurant."
Chinese authorities are hoping to generate interest among local and international investors in the US$26 million project, which will is located in the 2.3-square-km Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing. |
