Sydney brothels see boom during Pope's visit

Any time Australia's biggest city hosts a major event -- from the 2003 Rugby World Cup to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit last year -- it is boom-time for the sex industry, insiders say.

And with 225,000 foreign and Australian pilgrims expected in Sydney for six days of events celebrating the Catholic faith from July 15-20, they expect World Youth Day to be no different.

Sydney brothel Xclusive is putting on extra workers to provide sexual favors to lonely tourists and Sydneysiders during event.
