17/09/2024 EU Tourism Industry Coalition - Concerns over Royal Decree 933/2021

Royal Decree 933/2021 is disproportionate and unnecessary in relation to the purpose of the data
collection, as it goes beyond the fight against terrorism and organised crime. Travellers will be reluctant to choose Spanish destinations in the future if such an extensive collection of data is in place and will prefer less burdensome alternatives. The Decree will impose significant and unnecessary additional administrative burden and costs for companies (e.g. hotels, travel agents, tour operators, etc.) de facto increasing the price of holidays in a highly competitive market. It raises the question of how tourism business operators, especially micro-enterprises, will be able to cope with the legal requirements.
