Legal compliance across borders: Revolutionizing Guest Registration

When it comes to managing check-ins for tourist accommodations, the legal compliance is a paramount task worldwide. Every time a guest checks in, they must be identified, documented, and registered. Additionally, there are numerous other legal obligations, including reporting statistics and handling contracts, which further complicate matters.

In Spain, for example, there are four different online authorities for guest registration, while Italy boasts a multitude of statistics portals. Grasping the intricacies of guest registration in each country can be an overwhelming and time-consuming endeavor.

Discover Our Current Coverage

Curious about which countries we currently support for legal guest registration? Here’s a list of some of the countries we have in our coverage:

1. France: We generate the entry forms within the guestbook as required by law and store it for the time required. Moreover, our software handle tourist taxes giving the possibility for the host to setup the right taxes calculator and charge the amount to guests during the online check-in. We cover it for both classified and non classified accommodations. 

For example, in Paris we are able to replicate in the online check-in this formula:Nightly rate (no fees, nights only), divided by number of guests, multiplied by 0.05 = X

• If X is > or = to 4, then the nightly city tax rate applied to each adult is 5€
• If X is >4 we take 25% (15% +10%) and multiply by number of adults and number of nights. The result will be the nightly city tax rate.
