Abstract

Tourism, travel and hospitality report high prevalence of human trafficking, predominantly for sexual exploitation (Caroline et al., 2015; Robinson, 2013). With human trafficking recognised as a form of international organised crime and a serious human rights violation, states are bound to address it comprehensively. In parallel, the private sector in tourism, travel and hospitality has demonstrated engagement in the fight against human trafficking through a wide range of initiatives and ethical commitments that have been adopted locally, regionally and internationally. The current debate on the need for a business and human rights legally binding instrument serves as a backdrop for this concept paper to argue that the existing regulatory anti-trafficking framework is adequate to effectively address human trafficking in tourism.
