  1. I can access just fine. Also, the platform has been online since January 2023. Businesses have been given almost two years to adapt to these new ways.

    This is funny, though:

    >… we can confirm that some hotel establishments are taking more than 15 minutes to record every single piece of information about the tourists staying in the establishments

    So, business as usual, I suppose? Because I cannot recall when was the last time it took me less than 10 minutes to check in a hotel.

  2. “From now on, at each check in, tourists will need to record their name; surname; sex; identity document number; document support number; type of document (ID card, passport, TIE); nationality; date of birth; place of habitual residence including full address, town and country; landline and mobile phone number; email; number of tourists and relationship between tourists in the event that any of them are minors.

    Businesses must also send the ministry of the interior details of the transaction, such as the contract (reference number, date and signatures), contract execution data (date and time of entry and date and time of exit) and payment data (type, identification of the payment means such as card type and number, holder of the payment means, card expiry date and date of payment). Until now, tourists only had to provide their name, surname, ID card or passport number and date of issue.”

    Yeah this is insane
