The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies from 25 May 2018, will bring about a step change in risk for organisations in the Hotel & Leisure sector.
The GDPR will have a major impact on the hospitality industry, bringing with it requirements to change and adapt operations, truly understand the flow of data through businesses in the sector and potentially impact on business models and structure. With possible large administrative fines for breach of GDPR and significant reputational risks from misuse or breaches of personal data, it is key for businesses in the industry to focus on compliance.
