After a long and difficult pandemic year, Amsterdam escort services have finally returned, and the escorts themselves are feeling grateful to be working again.

If you were suddenly forced to work from home during the worst of the pandemic lockdowns, you should consider yourself lucky. As the covid-19 situation got continuously worse in Amsterdam and around the world, many people were left jobless and with no source of income.

Among the job forces that were hit the hardest, Amsterdam escort workers took a pretty big hit. Sex work is legal in Amsterdam, as long as it is conducted between two consenting adults. But last December, the government effectively banned people from conducting business in the Amsterdam escort neighborhood knows as the ''red-light district''.

The neighborhood of the redlight district is called the ''De Wallen Neighbourhood'', and it's one of the city's most historical sites. In 1270, shortly after a bridge had been successfully built in order to connect Amsterdam's islands, the De Wallen neighborhood was born. Its location is right in the middle of Amsterdam, making it a pot of gold by tourism standards today.

And even throughout history, the red light district acted as a sex tourist gold mine, even then. Due to the neighborhood's busy ports, it was the perfect location to entertain and host sailors that had been out at sea for longs months.

Today, Amsterdam escort services are among the last of the ''contact professionals'' to open their doors back up since the lockdown closures began. Hairdressers are also considered contact professionals, but quite controversially, were allowed by the government to resumes business as usual, before Amsterdam escort services. Rightfully so, many escorts found this to be unfair.

One Amsterdam Escort is ''just happy to be working again''

One Amsterdam escort, that goes by the name Aurora said, ''It wasn't fair at all'' when asked how she felt about being among the last of the cities industries to get back to normal business. But she then went on to say, ''But that's all said and done. Me and the rest of the women I work with, we're all just happy to be working again and doing what we love best.''

When asked if she felt safe to be interacting with clientele again, Aurora said, ''Absolutely. I believe that since we are all smart enough to focus on good hygiene like mask-wearing and hand washing, and the number of people that have already been vaccinated, we have nothing to worry about.'' Aurora is right about a high number of vaccinations having already been administered. Dutch health officials say that they have administered six million vaccinations.

As of May 19, amusement parks, swimming pools, and gyms were also allowed to open their doors back up to antsy customers. Furthermore, cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating will begin to get back to normal hours of business. Which is great news for so many people. But for escort services like Amsterdam Escort, it is amazing news.

So things finally start to get back to normal now, which will lift a huge weight off the shoulders of not only the escorts in Amsterdam but the entirety of the Netherlands.

The amount of money that tourism brings to the Netherlands during normal years, is astonishing. And the red light district is one of the main attractions that drive tourists to the city of Amsterdam each year. According to the New York Times, ''in 2019, a record-breaking 21.7 million people visited Amsterdam, a city with a population of about 870,000.''

With the OK from the Dutch government and the confidence of the city's many escorts, it appears that tourists will soon be returning to Amsterdam and its redlight district in not time.

The last question we asked Aurora, was if she would be happy to see tourists in her city again. Her reply was surprisingly heartwarming. ''I've personally had many great evenings spent with tourists from all over different parts of the world,'' she said. ''Although some bar owners or shop owners might get annoyed with the huge amount of loud tourists on our streets, I think that now, after the pandemic year, people, like myself, will welcome tourists back to Amsterdam.'' Finally, she adds, ''After all, sex tourists, are not just tourists. They are beautifully complex people who are out looking for adventure and memories, and I love that by being an Amsterdam escort, I can give them those memories that will last forever.''
