HOSPITALITY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The hospitality industry is in a unique position to identify and report human trafficking due to its perceived anonymity. Traffickers believe they can go unnoticed while exploiting victims across the globe in hotels— ranging from budget properties to luxury resorts. From check-in to check-out there are a number of indicators victims and exploiters exhibit during the time they are on a hotel's property. 

This criminal activity is not only a violation of human rights, but it also presents a great risk for the safety and security of travelers. With proper training, a front desk agent, a housekeeper or member of your maintenance team can notice signs of trafficking and alert management. Fortunately, there are many ways hotels can prevent and combat human trafficking. 

This free 30-minute online training program developed by ECPAT-USA in collaboration with the American Hotel and Lodging Association and Marriott International discusses the intersections between human trafficking and the hotel industry. ECPAT-USA also offers free tools and resources that can be used in conjunction with the training to help companies combat trafficking and inform clients and suppliers of their commitment.
