Abstract

Statistics show that the hospitality industry is particularly vulnerable to human trafficking. Over 80% of reported human trafficking cases involve hotels or hospitality-related venues, including spas and restaurants, etc. This chapter articulates the measures that the hospitality industry could employ to prevent the abuse of its properties for purposes of human trafficking. The chapter presents an overview of human trafficking prevention followed by an exploration of the leveraging of technology within the hotel and hospitality industry as well as a discussion of current and future prevention efforts surrounding hotel services, smart hotels, and its effective integration aimed at reducing trafficking activity.
