Prostitution, people say, is the world's oldest profession. Together with narcotics, prostitution is an illegal activity closely linked to the nightlife in major cities. In Jakarta, for example, sexual transactions have continued unabated even after Governor Anies Baswedan refused to extend the business license of the Alexis hotel and spa, accused of being a center of high class prostitution in the capital, last October. The provincial government however, did not take issue with its club and karaoke license, and now the prostitution going on there is able to continue through that business branch. The biggest irony of Alexis' closure is that the Jakarta government is more or less dependent on the income from this sector. In 2016, the Jakarta government took in Rp 769.5 billion in taxes from such entertainment centers. That figure comes second only to the city government's income from motor vehicle and property taxes. Alexis alone contributes between Rp 2.4 to Rp 3 billion per month. This tax is deducted directly from, among others, the coupons sold at the hotel for prostitution services.
