TripAdvisor will be adding alerts to identify hotels and resorts where health and safety issues have been reported, after the travel review site came under fire for removing a post in which a traveler wrote about being sexually assaulted at a Mexican resort.
"In order to better inform consumers and provide them with even more information about their travels, TripAdvisor is creating a 'badge' notification to apply to businesses to alert consumers of health and safety or discrimination issues at that business reported on within the media or other credible sources of information," reads a statement.
Earlier this month, the world's largest travel review site was lambasted for deleting a review posted in 2010 for the Iberostar Paraiso Maya resort, in which a contributor wrote at length about a sexual assault involving a security guard.
