What’s new in hotel tech? We cover the stuff that matters: managing better, connecting with guests, and running things smarter.
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. But rather than viewing it as an obstacle, this moment represents a real opportunity to build better digital experiences for everyone. 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.
