eIDAS 2.0: A new regulation that will change guest data privacy and security
The EU is implementing a standardized digital identity system with a secure European Digital Identity Wallet. This will revolutionize travel by eliminating cumbersome paperwork, boosting security, and streamlining check-in processes. Hotels need to prepare for mandatory adoption by 2026 and develop a strategy to integrate eIDAS 2.0 with existing systems.
In our increasingly digital world, where identity is shaped by both our physical selves and their online representations, governments and organizations are striving to make digital interactions and identity management more secure.
The European Union recently approved a framework for a standardized digital identity system called eIDAS 2.0. The new version is an upgrade to the existing eIDAS regulation established in 2014, that strengthens online authentication across the European Union. Its goal is to create a secure and seamless experience for digital interactions within all member states.
