Detaillierte Definition auf Englisch. Hospitality-Fachbegriffe (PMS, OTA, RevPAR, ADR) werden auch im deutschsprachigen Hotelbetrieb meist in der englischen Form verwendet.

KYC (Know Your Customer) at check-in refers to identity verification typically required by local hospitality regulations. EU member states differ: Spain has Hospedajes, Italy has Alloggiati Web, Portugal has SEF. Modern contactless check-in platforms automate ID document capture, OCR, and government-portal reporting to satisfy KYC requirements.
