The European Accessibility Act is now law: what hoteliers need to know

As of 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) is officially in force across all EU member states. If your hotel offers digital services, this new regulation applies to you.

And importantly: while the regulation is active now, some digital products have longer transition periods. In hospitality, many of the guest-facing tools, such as booking engines and self-service kiosks have until 28 June 2030 to reach full technical compliance. That gives you time to prepare, but not a reason to wait. Accessibility isn’t just a requirement, it’s part of great service.
