Accomodation - personal data now required

[MikeyC]

It seems that after several pushbacks the new requirements come into force on December 2nd.
Accomodation providers will be required to collect a raft of personal data from all guests. This will include financial information such as credit card and bank details, full contact details and relationship between travellers.
The same applies to car hire companies.
The data is to be sent daily to authorities to help combat crime and terrorism.
Expect delays at check in.
