Twenty-five million people are exploited in human trafficking globally. Nearly 5 million are sexually exploited. And 1 out of every 4 victims are children.

Where and how does this happen? An unfortunate reality for the travel industry is that human trafficking is most often happening throughout the hotel industry.

The Prevention Podcast explored these issues with Michelle Guelbart, Director of ECPAT International, formerly End Child Prostitution and Trafficking, during this year's GBTA Convention in Chicago.
