What We Believe

Working Toward an End to Human Trafficking

For too many people, the hospitality industry represents not a place of welcome but one of danger and fear.  Today, thousands of exploited women and children globally are trafficked through the hospitality system. Therefore, we have committed to eradicating these practices.

two women comforting each other

We strongly endorse and support the efforts made by the AHLA and the major brands in the development of the 5-Star Promise to include the eradication of human trafficking and AHLA’s No Room for Trafficking. We believe that all stakeholders – the employees who service the hotels, the guests who travel as well as the solution-providers who serve the hospitality industry –have a responsibility to be active participants in this fight and we all can educate ourselves and others around us to better meet this goal.

You can learn more about the steps you can take to participate in this movement here. It is our responsibility as a community to learn how to identify signs of human trafficking with this toolkit training hotel employees by category. Also, if you witness human trafficking, you can report it in multiple ways:

  • Report online at Human Trafficking Hotline

  • Send text to 233-733 (local data charges may apply)

  • Call 1-800-373-7888

  • Call hotel security

 

Let us all come together and help bring an end to human trafficking.
