Show the world your company protects children
We dream of a world where children are safe and free. Where no child is abused by sex tourists. Where the sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism no longer exists.
Sadly, today many children are victims of sex tourism. While tourism is not the cause of these crimes, many offenders travel to commit these abuses. Tourism professionals therefore have the unique opportunity to stop child sex tourism in its tracks. If one of your staff suspects abuse and reports it, offenders can be prosecuted and more children will be safe. You can save a child from exploitation and abuse.
By joining The Code, your company will send a clear message that it does not accept or tolerate sexual crimes against children.
Join The Code today and show the world you care about keeping children safe!
