Particularly, it has the purpose of providing a cognitive contribution about the state of training within the tourism sector through a direct survey on some non profit organizations (e.g. ECPAT, ABTA, UNODC, ILO) which have in years a key role concerning training to contrast the issue of human trafficking. Moreover, this work aims to analyze the effectiveness of training as a prevention and monitoring tool of this criminal phenomenon. The methodology of the research project includes: - data collection and analysis about human trafficking issue and the links with the tourism industry; - analysis of the main training tool kits provided by organizations which deal with the prevention and monitoring of the phenomenon; - analysis of the questionnaires: one completed by the main suppliers of training kits and the other one completed by tourism companies which have trained their own staff.
