Human trafficking is a global crisis of massive scale, generating billions of dollars annually through the labor or sexual exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion. Given the transient nature of hospitality properties and the expected privacy afforded to guests, hotels are a common place for trafficking activities.
As part of WorldVue’s commitment to anti-trafficking work, we recently hosted a webinar addressing the critical roles of the hospitality industry, brands, and non-profit organizations in combatting human trafficking. This white paper shares what we learned from this webinar, exploring the need for collaboration, innovative technologies, and an industry-wide commitment to this issue.
While awareness is the first step to change, we also aim to offer insights and strategies to move beyond mere awareness into actionable solutions. By doing this, hoteliers can create safer environments and disrupt trafficking networks, demonstrating a commitment to human rights and protecting their communities.
WorldVue’s Commitment to Act against Human Trafficking
WorldVue has again committed to title sponsorship of the AHLA’s annual “No Room for Trafficking” Summit in 2025. We are working to ensure that not only our employees but also our partners, installers, and others are trained to recognize the signs of trafficking. By the end of January 2025, all WorldVue employees will have finished the “Prevent Human Trafficking” training by PACT, the same program Marriott uses. We ask that you continue to help us do the work of raising awareness to help eradicate the worldwide problem of human trafficking.
