Anti-Pornography Group Praises Hilton Hotels for Eliminating Adult Entertainment

The Hilton Worldwide hotel chain announced this week that it will begin the process of removing on-demand adult entertainment options from the remainder of its hotels.

The global hospitality company said in a statement to multiple media outlets, including The Christian Post, that it will be removing pornographic options from its hotel on-demand service to "[keep] with our company's vision and goals moving forward."

"While the vast majority of our properties already do not offer this content today, this content will be phased out of all other hotels subject to the terms of their contracts," the hotel brand said in a statement to The Christian Post.

"We believe in offering our guests a high degree of choice and control during their stays with us, including Wi-Fi on personal devices. However, we have listened carefully to our customers and have determined that adult video-on-demand entertainment is not in keeping with our company's vision and goals moving forward," the statement added.

Dawn Hawkins, the executive director of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, praised the hotel chain's decision in a statement.

"Hilton has taken a stand against sexual exploitation. Pornography not only contributes to the demand for sex trafficking, which is a serious concern in hotels, but it also contributes to child exploitation, sexual violence, and lifelong porn addictions," Hawkins said.

The NCOSE has subsequently removed the Hilton company from its list of companies that enable sexual exploitation.
