Interesting facts
In Brazil, a motel is a lawful, private venue intended solely for sexual encounters (hence the ubiquitous red light), unlike American motels, which function as lodging or tourist accommodation. The nightly rate at Motel Destino (Destino means "destiny" in Portuguese) is R$59.90 (Brazilian reais), approximately US$10.00.
