January 2026: Human Trafficking Prevention

Human Trafficking Prevention Month is also an important opportunity for hotel leaders to reinforce policies and expectations at the property level. This includes confirming guest identification procedures, understanding reporting protocols, and creating an environment where team members feel confident speaking up when something does not seem right. As part of Choice’s compliance requirements, each property owner or management-level designee is required to complete the Your Role in Preventing Human Trafficking: Recognize the Signs training on ChoiceU.com and renew the certification every twelve months. We strongly encourage management teams to revisit this training annually and continue reinforcing these messages with their teams on property.

Human trafficking can occur at any time and in any location, often increasing around large events and periods of high travel. Awareness, preparation, and education are essential. By staying informed and engaged, hotel teams become part of a broader effort to help prevent trafficking and protect those at risk. Through vigilance, learning, and action, you can help make your hotels safer places for everyone.
