Trafficking has three constituent elements;
The Act (What is done)
Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons
The Means (How it is done)
Threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or vulnerability, or giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim
The Purpose (Why it is done)
For the purpose of exploitation, which includes exploiting the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labour, slavery or similar practices and the removal of organs.
So in this context, traveling for a prearranged meeting is not necessarily trafficking if there is no coercion of any sort. So you are free to travel if you wish. If you are managed, and payment is given to management, it might be considered trafficking (Transportation, giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim, exploiting the prostitution of others).
