Attend a session on preventing human trafficking

In 2021, 80 percent of the sex trafficking cases reported in the United States involved a victim who was exploited at a hotel. But there is something hoteliers can do to help stop human trafficking. Attend one of our free human trafficking prevention training sessions offered at AAHOACON24.

BEST's Inhospitable to Human Trafficking Awareness training, sponsored by AAHOA, is an effective tool that enhances hotel safety. Human trafficking has devastating effects on its victims and poses significant safety risks to guests and employees. Additionally, it can leave businesses exposed to substantial legal and financial liabilities. By training yourself and your staff, you can gain the knowledge needed to help prevent human trafficking at your hotel and get certified in human trafficking prevention!

AAHOACON24 is hosting two sessions of this training:

• Wednesday, April 3, 4:30-5:30 p.m.
• Thursday, April 4, 4:30-5:30 p.m.

Your session facilitator, Violeta Vega, is the Senior Program Manager for Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking. She will help you learn how to spot the indicators of human trafficking in hotels so you can safely report it. This can help survivors get connected to the resources they need to rebuild their lives and keep your community safe from the crime of human trafficking.
