Role of Tourism Industry in Child Protection
Tourism professionals can make a big impact: Case study
US hotel manager saved a 17 year old girl from sex trafficking in
Minneapolis. Trafficker check-in with the girl for several weeks with
suspicious activities; the manager did a brief internet search to find
‘advertisements’ for the girl. The trafficker would bring ‘customers’ back to
the hotel for ‘visits’. Hotel manager then called the police and the girl was
rescued from the trafficker/pimp. – January 2012
