Is Your Hotel GDPR-Ready? Learn from Marriott’s Costly Lesson

Discover how Marriott's GDPR breach serves as a crucial lesson for hoteliers and explore how InHotel's upcoming AI assistant can enhance your data protection strategies.

Is Your Hotel GDPR-Ready? Learn from Marriott’s Costly Lesson

In 2018, Marriott faced a massive data breach affecting 339 million guest records, resulting in a hefty GDPR fine of $130 million.Although the penalty was later reduced to $24 million, the incident underscores a critical question for all hoteliers:

  • Are you protecting your guest data better than Marriott?
  • Can your business sustain potential brand reputation damage and GDPR fines?
  • How much are you currently spending on legal advice to ensure compliance?

Soon, hoteliers will be able to engage an AI consultant specifically designed to advise on hospitality-related GDPR topics. Whether you need deep, on-subject consultancy or your team has seemingly unrelated day-to-day questions like "How do I share a guest's arrival date with a tour operator?" (in any language), the AI assistant ensures that everyone's actions remain compliant without compromising data security.
