Hugo’s owner reveals plans for drive-thru strip-club tunnel between Malta and Gozo

Luke Chetcuti, son of the late Hugo Chetcuti, has unveiled his plans to build a drive-thru strip-club tunnel between Malta and Gozo.

Yesterday it was reported that the Hugo Group, together with several other foreign companies, is interested in undertaking the Gozo tunnel project.

Now Chetcuti has confirmed his interest, and this afternoon outlined his proposal.

“If the government chooses some Chinese state-owned firm or Turkish construction company, then what we’ll end up with is a boring, run-of-the-mill tunnel,” Chetcuti told Bis-Serjetà.

“If this is going to cost millions of euros to build, why not give it the Hugo’s touch and make it the world’s first drive-thru gentlemen’s club?” he asked, adding that Malta deserved more clubs of this sort outside of Paceville.

Elaborating further on his plans, the hotel impresario said the entire length of the 13-kilometre ‘Hugo’s Tunnel’ would be lined with scantily clad, pole-dancing women illuminated by spotlights, with several large speakers pumping out R&B.

“Drivers may choose to simply stare at the women as they drive by. But if they pay a little bit extra, they’ll be able to invite the women into their cars for a private dance.”

Chetcuti dismissed concerns that the drive-thru strip-club tunnel would not be family friendly.

“Nonsense. Gentlemen’s clubs are great places for boys to learn about female anatomy, and for girls to learn about a future profession they can do if they don’t do well in their exams.”

To deliver the complete gentlemen’s club experience, Chetcuti said he would lobby the government to allow drinking and driving in the tunnel.

“One may argue this will cause accidents, but don’t worry – we’ll have a team of girls dresses as sexy nurses on standby in case collisions happen.”

When contacted, Transport and Infrastructure Minister Ian Borg said he was very interested in the Hugo’s Tunnel concept.

“I think it’s a great idea. In fact, I’m now looking at incorporating gentlemen’s clubs into all infrastructural projects. I think drive-thru strip clubs would be far better than cycle lanes anyway,” he said.
