For some years now, Abta has been supporting members to manage human rights in their operations and supply chains. Next Thursday, October 18, is Anti-slavery Day in the UK, which aims to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery. Abta will be launching new tools to help members learn more about the issues and how to take action.


Modern slavery is a global issue and a complex crime that is not easy to spot. Businesses from a range of sectors can be affected, and the travel industry is no exception.
