What Is Human Trafficking?

Human trafficking is using force, fraud, or coercion to lure victims and force them into labour or sexual exploitation. While this crime can occur in any industry, the nature of the hotel business—offering privacy, short stays, and frequent guest turnover—can unfortunately make hotels, motels, and inns attractive to traffickers. 

But that’s exactly why the hospitality industry is in a powerful position to help stop it. With the right training, hotel staff can learn to recognize the signs, respond appropriately, and play a vital role in prevention. 


Why This Matters 

In 2022, Public Safety Canada reported the following statistics:

  • 3,996 incidents of human trafficking were reported to police services in Canada between 2012-2022.
  • In 2022, 82% of incidents of human trafficking were reported in census metropolitan areas.
  • 24% of victims of police-reported human trafficking were aged 17 and younger


By training every hotel employee, we can protect vulnerable individuals, safeguard our industry, and help law enforcement combat this growing crisis.
