The case was created to generate a discussion regarding the motivations and risks of initiating policies of social responsibility and corporate ethics along with the possible benefits and disadvantages of adopting these policies. It describes a situation in which an international giant in the hospitality and tourist industry must make a choice between profit maximization and the risk that a new venture has potential for leading to sex trafficking and also the sexual exploitation of kids. As such, it looks at the purpose of the tourism and travel industry in the sexual exploitation of children, including the ways in which pedophiles carry to nations where children are available for exploitation.
It also discusses national and international law and remedies involving the sexual exploitation of kids. By focusing on the Chief Executive's devotion to children and to fighting child sex trafficking, the case encourages undergraduate and graduate-level students of business ethics, corporate social responsibility and leadership studies to consider the competitive demands of business opportunity and social responsibility and the duties business leaders must presume toward solving moral issues.
