PIMPS AND CLIENTS
Airlines and hotels play a crucial, if unwitting, role in the global human trafficking industry by providing transport and lodging to criminals.
That industry represents $32 billion in value to organized crime and is the fastest growing criminal enterprise in the world, according to the nonprofit Polaris Project.
In the United States, as many as 300,000 children are trafficked annually and most are used for prostitution and pornography, according to a 2001 University of Pennsylvania study.
Airlines already coordinate in a “worldwide effort among police, border control and intelligence agencies,” to fight a crime that “violates the most basic precepts of human dignity,” the Air Transport Association said in a statement.

At the heart of the trade are clients. Typically, they are businessmen flying into a city for work who connect with exploited children via pimps who advertise their charges online, according to officials.
