About thirty years ago when I just started in the hotel business, a hotel manager told me "prostitution is good for the hotel business". Like many others in those days, we kind of shrugged our shoulders and considered it a "victimless crime". I soon found out nothing could be farther from the truth.

Thanks to some high-profile scum bags that have made the news, we now know it to be Human Trafficking, Sex Trafficking or Child Trafficking. What we used to consider discreet acts among consenting adults, we now understand to be exploitation. It is neither consensual or adult, and hotels are involved up to their mattress pads.

Except for billionaires with private islands, where else are these acts going to take place? Chances are it is in your hotel and the hotel next door. We can no longer say it's good for business, or it's a victimless crime, or what happens in the privacy of a hotel room…. Those days are over.

So, let's all agree what the problem is and how it involves hotels.
