New identity verification regulations are pushing the hospitality industry in Europe toward adopting digital identity solutions. Spain, for example, now requires all hospitality-related businesses to provide guest information to the Ministry of the Interior for national security purposes. These new regulations raise concerns over potential check-in delays, burdensome record-keeping, and data privacy. The European Commission has proposed a new EU Digital Travel app focusing on travel identity. In addition to border crossing, the app could facilitate digital identity sharing throughout travel journeys. Roger Olivieira's startup, VerID, aims to streamline this process by connecting with multiple EU digital ID wallets and other travel credentials.
