TripAdvisor will now flag reported sexual assaults on travel reviews

Source: The Hill

TripAdvisor will now flag reports of sexual assaults at hotels and resorts on their travel review website.

The world’s largest travel company announced Tuesday that it will now include safety warnings on the pages where sexual assault, physical assault, drugging, sex trafficking, armed robbery and death have been reported by users.

Potential guests can use the safety filter to find reported incidents rather through reading through tens of millions of reviews detailing complaints on TripAdvisor.

“We allow travelers to share their experiences on our platform, but we also ensure that businesses can respond,” wrote Lindsay Nelson, TripAdvisor’s president of core experience. “When a safety concern is raised in a review, we know that travelers want to understand whether the management has taken action to resolve it. We encourage business owners to use our Management Response feature to publicly communicate what they have done to address travelers’ concerns.”
