RESOURCES
Small businesses makeup 76% of Sonoma County tourism business and 91% are locally owned. To help support our community, we’ve compiled a list of resources and ideas to share with stakeholders and local business owners. Thank you to our partners at Sonoma County Tourism for some of these great resources.
Human Trafficking Resources
Hospitality industry professionals have a responsibility to identify and prevent human trafficking. It is important for us to do so because of legal obligations, social responsibility, ethical considerations, business reputation, and staff safety. Failing to identify and prevent human trafficking can lead to legal consequences, damage the business’s reputation, and put staff at risk. By identifying and preventing human trafficking, hospitality professionals can contribute to the betterment of society and create a safer environment for ourselves and our customers.
