    I don't know why people are saying they are not coming because it is going to happen everywhere eventually. We are heading for a digital cashless world of digital ID with no privacy whatsoever

      You said it, EVENTUALLY!
      Until that time comes, people should go elsewhere, and other countries may see the benefits of not enforcing such rules, As a result, they may shy away from bringing them in.
      It's one thing handing over passport details, name and address, but your whole life story is another thing.

      These rules will apply in the whole of the EU. We decided to remove ourselves. The UK wanted even more strict rules when we were still in it. This is what you want. Your criminal history will also be checked going back 25 years. Where are you going on holiday if Europe is out. America? Similar rules. We decided to become a third country. It is not the fault of the EU and "those foreigners". Holiday in the uK where prices are very reasonable and staff are delighted to welcome you, not forgetting the huge amount of sunshine.

    This practically already happens I run 2 Airbnbs in Murcia you have to take passport or national Id info and input the details with the Gardia which they keep for 3 years.

  • @iscmiscm

    It used to be that some bars would hold onto credit cards until payment at the end.
    I would say it goes against bank advice to hand over a credit card to be stored at the back of a bar and would go to another pub.
    I am lucky that as a resident, these rules don't apply to me, but many hotels take on temporary staff in the summer and a few are not honest.
    What an opportunity for card cloning plus the chaos when 50 guests arrive at once.
    Next year could be problematic for many hotels.

      - you completely misunderstand what "those locals" were saying. If no tourists return to Mallorca, or any other part of Spain, there will be no economic crash. The tourist business is now mostly foreign owned anyway, and the staff working in hotel & bars are mostly foreign also.

    Think this is part of the ETIAS EES rules governing the entty of third country nationals into the Schengen Area of the EU/EFTA with the exception of Ireland and Cyprus. The regulations governing entry of third country nationals into the Schengen Area csn be checked out in Article 6 of the EU 2016/399.

    Surely it should be possible for this information to be completed in advance of a stay using the hotel's webpage. I know that the hotel I have used for 25 years no in Sa Coma allows check in in this way. Love your channel by the way.

    Hi, Just got back from Majorca Sunday 6th . Usually go to Alcudia but decided to try Palma nova staying at the Globales Palmanova. Something we have never experienced before is rude staff but unfortunenately we have now ! When you hear people say "the staff can't do enough for you " this doesn't apply here. For your information Globales rooms are very small, strangest entertainment room I've ever seen ! Will be waiting to see what happens with check-in situation, but will probably be looking elsewhere in the future. "Majorca You are shooting yourself in the foot."

    I have only once taken my credit card on holiday with me. I left it in the safe at a well known hotel in a chain in Benidorm in March 2024. A few weeks later over £700 was spent on my credit card. I do not think this was a coincedence.

      @clivethereddevil3178 ...not just Spain at fault... i had several hundred pounds spent on online websites on my credit card....whilst I was still on the plane flying to Mallorca, before had landed so it obviously got cloned / scanned at the midlands based airport in the UK on my way out... I now use an RFID purse to protect that. Nightmare

    I’m actually going to Barcelona next week and I’m not happy giving my credit card details to a prepaid hotel at check in. Why are the Spanish doing this? They are not a wealthy country and without tourism they’d really struggle. Why don’t they just ban tourists?

    Is a dread for visiting next with the new entry system at the border now this hotel check. We visit Puerto Pollensa and like to stay in a villa but with all the break ins this summer we’re worried about staying in one. Unfortunately Mallorca isn’t looking appealing. We will probably still come next summer but if it is a ball ache definitely will reconsider. For the CC check wonder if you can use a single use Revolut card?

    Not sure if you know this but would credit/debit/bank card details be required if you book through a travel agent since technically your contract is with them and they in turn handle the relationship with your hotel

    Forty years of trips to Mallorca and Spain ended by a badly thought out plan. These details are personal and subject to misuse too easily by the criminal fraternity, it would be impossible to police this well enough. It’s a shame but somewhere else will now get our business. Thanks for highlighting this issue.

Spain and its islands were one of our favourites for many years, I gues it’s all over now, especially considering some of this information is a breach of my own rights in my opinion.why would they ever need to have banking details for an all inclusive holiday or my email address, simply no.
