Regulations for Tourism & Hospitality
The tourism and hospitality industry processes large volumes of personal guest data and is therefore subject to strict data protection requirements.
Why Is This Sector Especially Affected?
- Data protection: Booking data, ID copies, payment data, and guest preferences require comprehensive GDPR compliance
- Whistleblowing: The HinSchG requires internal reporting channels from 50 employees
- Cross-border data transfers: International hotel chains and tour operators transfer data to third countries
- Online bookings: E-commerce platforms and review portals require transparent privacy policies
