Human trafficking generates about $150 billion a year globally in illegal profits. Hotels and motels are a common venue for sex trafficking due to ease of access for buyers, ability to pay in cash and maintain secrecy through finances, and lack of facility maintenance. What are the major hotel chains doing to curb human trafficking on their properties?

I was human trafficked. A hotel staff member did call the police, but literally nothing happened. The cops came & spoke to us victims right in front of the person trafficking us. Of course we said nothing was going on. They never spoke to us separately. We left right away & nothing happened. I finally escaped one day at night & the guy that picked me up was another human trafficker. He ended up bringing me so far. Once I was left alone, I literally called the person who had been trafficking me to come save me from another trafficker. I hid in a stairwell until he got there. Once I was able to finally escape for real, 2 of the ppl involved in trafficking me were arrested for trafficking & it brought me so much joy. They were pulled over & their victim wrote a help me message on their phone & pointed it towards the police while they were still in the car. Heroin was sometimes used to keep victims around. I'm now 33. This happened about a decade ago. If you're a police officer, please try not to blame the victims & allow them to speak alone!

I used to work for Hilton and we take trafficking very seriously. We would pay attention to every single guest and suspicious activity. No amount of profit is worth giving a blind eye to such acts

Important to note Marriott don't own 99% of their hotels since they run a franchise model but there are definitely lots of hotel managements that turn a blind eye in name of profit.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AT THE RESIDENCE INN BY MARRIOTT MIAMI AIRPORT. There have been reports about the front desk staff letting strange men have key cards to women’s rooms without proper IDs. The police were called and nothing was done so I would fully steer clear.

The Marriott lady talking about mandatory training reminds me of how HSBC and Wells Fargo have ethics code of conducts. Training or rules dont mean anything if management has a culture of looking the other way and only paying lip service to the training

As a previous manager who worked at Marriott, and 3 different Hilton brand hotels- I am very aware of how human trafficking is not on the list of concerns for these companies. How can anyone expect a business that many times knowingly “hires” trafficked housekeepers, and other back of the house staff to take the issue of human trafficking seriously? It’s those trafficked workers and guests that make the pockets of the company bigger and bigger. The whole ‘our employees receive blah blah xyz training for a whopping 60 min every 2 years’ is a completely joke. Firstly, most hotel employees don’t even stick around one year. Hotels have some of the highest turnover. And those 60 min training modules- most employees click through them on mute while on their phones. And for the ones that do pay attention, it’s just as good as them not seeing the training at all- because systemically all the other multiple hours of training over several days for all the other hotel policies and procedures quickly reminds the employee of what’s really important: the customer’s always right, and make sure to get “heads in beds.” It’s more important to make sure a paying guest doesn’t feel discriminated against or uncomfortable by the suspicions of an employee. It all comes down to doing whatever it takes to sell rooms, and effectively turning a blind eye to the precious paying customers that keep the front desk staff getting paychecks. The “training” nonsense is your typical corporate CYA protocol: do the minimum so that you can say you did your part when you become a defendant in all these lawsuits. I noticed one commenter stated that Marriott doesn’t own 99% of their hotels- but that doesn’t matter because it’s precisely their management and training that is implemented by operations. Hotels are in the business of making money- point blank. Hiltons and Marriotts just see this problem as a normal part of doing business. These lawsuits don’t faze them. Until hotels actually start doing in person trainings with Polaris advocates to engage with the front desk staff, but most importantly, housekeeping/housemen staff, and truly get them concerned by providing real life scenarios and implementing a step by step process of what to do when human trafficking is suspected, with a guarantee that bringing these concerns to management will not threaten their employment…we won’t see a positive trend in tackling human trafficking in hotels.

If you want hotels to be more proactive when it comes to identifying and reporting human trafficking, I suggest you look at hotels themselves and who they're employing. They often hire undocumented workers who are hesitant to speak to the police, are exploited by their employers, and fear retribution for reporting frequent customers

Don’t like how prostitution and actual “human trafficking” are thrown together. The two are very different.

The stranger grab has always been the most polarizing abduction/trafficking story because it's the most gripping but it's also the easiest to swallow. But the reality is predators hunt in their comfort zones, and most people who are kidnapped, trafficked, and/or sexually assaulted are done so by someone they know. Someone who took advantage of their vulnerabilities, lulled you into a false sense of security so that your guard would be down when they attacked or you wouldn't even realize what you were facing until it was already too late.

All Uber, Lyft, cab, and public transit drivers should be required to take this training as well. Many human trafficking victims were rescued from their traffickers because someone recognized the signs and immediate contacted the police.

Hotel Manager 20+ years, I have witnessed two distinct types of human trafficking; 1. Hispanic immigrants from Central America, usually taken at Mexico's southern border while migrating north by cartels. Their daily lives can be highly conntrolled, from paying rent for living space to the cartel, to the job itself (easier jobs are reserved for immigrants from Mexico). 2. Immigrants specifically to the Indian historic caste culture, usually living at site of the hotel and presented as a distant family member. Later, after enough time, one learns they are actually lower caste members whose family has been in service to the hotel owner's family for generations. Both examples are so wide-spread and deeply ingrained in the U.S. hotel industry, it would take a major cultural shift, or revolution, to end it.

When I was 16 years I worked in a "haunted house" for Halloween. Afterwards I would catch a bus in downtown. One evening I noticed a car parked close to the bus stop with a rather young black man driving. He said "hi" to me and asked me if I wanted job. I told him "no". He was parked at the bus stop for several evenings, and a few times he asked me if I wanted a job. A woman who also caught the same bus told me he wanted me for prostitution. He never got out of his car, nor did he threaten me, but was really nice and actually polite. It wasn't until years later I learned that this man wanted me for trafficking.

I have worked in several hotels (Marriott, Hilton, Hampton, Staybridge and Wyndham)and never had training on trafficking.

I have a friend that works in SVU and she said that traffickers use every hotel from the motel 6 to the expensive ones. In San Diego it's a HUGE problem. I remember when the marriot near the airport was a main place for trafficking and prostitution for obvious reasons and I think after that they really made changes.

What about Airbnb with a fully automatic check in ? Airbnb should also be made accountable.

Yup, I worked at Fairfield Inn by Marriott and we had to take training to spot human trafficking. A few towns over it happened at hotel and it was with children, it doesn't just happen in big cities, people need to remember that in big cities they are used to and have knowledge of dangerous acts so they keep an eye out, however In more rural areas like I am, it easier to get away with stuff cause you have less witnesses, in towns near me we are a hub for criminal activity from people traveling from Denver.

"Trainings" are one of the most overrated steps to avoid human trafficking and is also costing tax payer a lot of money that is not well used. The staff can attend the training but they still do not care. In America what others do is none of your business until they mess with your pocket, so let's do that. Strict regulations are needed (Laws that will take their money out of their pockets) let's say: Compensation to the city if the hotel gets involved in human trafficking and gets cought for the first and second time... Monetary compensation and closing the hotel for a month if they get caught for the third time in human trafficking. With these laws you'll see how hotels will do EVERYTHING in their power to avoid ANY attempt of human trafficking within their premises.
