Lisbon, June 27, 2023

The hospitality industry is on the cusp of a major transformation. The European Union's eIDAS 2.0 regulation, coupled with the introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet), is poised to revolutionize guest data security and streamline the guest experience. A new regulation in Europe will soon mandate all businesses to accept digital identity wallets.

Youverse, a frontrunner in secure guest identification solutions, takes the lead in this discussion with a thought leadership piece featured in the 2025 edition of Hotel Yearbook Technology.

Hotel Yearbook Technology, a prestigious publication known for its analysis of hospitality technology trends, features an article by Youverse CEO, Pedro Torres, about what this new regulation brings to the hospitality industry.

In the article, Pedro discusses:

How eIDAS 2.0 can simplify guest identification and verification processes.
The timeline for implementation.
The role of technology in creating a more secure and personalized guest experience.

“The implementation of digital wallets in Europe presents a major change, but also transformative opportunity for the hospitality industry,” says Pedro Torres. “These advancements will not only enhance guest privacy and security but also streamline operations and create a more frictionless experience. Youverse is committed to providing innovative solutions that help hotels leverage this opportunity to its full potential.”
