ECPAT-USA’s Statement On The Passing Of Arne Sorenson

ECPAT-USA is deeply saddened by the passing of Arne Sorenson, President and CEO of Marriott International. Arne was a continual champion and leader on the issue of ending child sexual exploitation in the hospitality and travel industry through prevention efforts, including training and education. 

We were honored to recognize his work with the “Visionary Award” at our 2019 Freedom Awards ceremony, an event that brings together advocates, influencers, private industry partners, and other special guests to honor leaders in the fight to end child trafficking and other forms of sexual exploitation. 

Our most heartfelt condolences to the Sorensons and the greater Marriott family.
