Federal Travel Priority for Hotels Fighting Human Trafficking.
This law aims to combat human trafficking by requiring federal agencies to prioritize booking accommodations for their employees in hotels that actively enforce zero-tolerance policies against this crime. Participating hotels must train staff (front desk, housekeeping, security) to identify and report potential victims, thereby increasing safety and awareness for all guests. This change incentivizes the lodging industry to adopt stronger anti-trafficking measures nationwide.
Key points
Federal agencies must prioritize booking rooms in hotels that implement mandatory staff training on identifying and reporting human trafficking.
Hotels must establish clear procedures for reporting suspected cases to law enforcement or the national hotline, while protecting employees from retaliation.
The General Services Administration (GSA) will maintain a list of compliant "preferred places of accommodation" and provide model policies and training resources.
