Hilton response to questions on recruitment risk to migrant workers during Qatar 2022

In 2022, we engaged approximately 10 recruitment agencies headquartered in Nepal, the Philippines, UAE, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon and Macedonia to recruit temporary workers from Nepal, the Philippines, Morocco, Lebanon, Zimbabwe and Eastern Europe for our managed properties in Qatar.
