“The collective impact of the industry can accelerate innovative human trafficking prevention efforts and upstream strategies to make a positive difference in the communities where we work and live,” says AHLA Foundation President Anna Blue. See how the introduction of the Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act aligns with our ongoing commitment to combating human trafficking. ⬇️
AHLA and AHLA Foundation applaud Reps. David Valadao and Troy Carter for their leadership in introducing the Human Trafficking Awareness Training Recognition Act. This bill would require the Department of Homeland Security to establish a certification program for businesses that train their employees to recognize and respond to suspected human trafficking. 👏 The legislation would complement our industry’s anti-trafficking efforts by providing important third-party validation for hotels’ training and prevention initiatives.
