Yes, same in other latin countries like Greece, Portugal, Croatia. It is for taxation as the governments seek to clamp down on undeclared revenues..
One obviously assumes all these orgs have methods to comply with the GDPR, which is probably hopeful. I never had to give bank details though, except the card N0 to make the payment/deposit. |

was on the BBC news 02/12/24.
it read from december 2nd 2024 british travellers to spain will be required by law to provide 31 new pieces of information to there hotels and accommodation and car hire companys in what the spanish government describe as an effort to crack down on crime and tax evasion..
Thats all i know right now.. |

Completely agree, common practice for a while now in spain. I know the National Police raided a few hotels this summer where the hotels had not submitted the required documentation as requested by the ministry of the interior
"The government backed down from wanting bank details so that’s not required! The rest of the info is fairly standard the same as when you check in to a hotel "

I agree with the government
I am resident here in Spain
And keeps country safer and more
Profitable
The health system is magnificent
Shoplifters jailed
No dole ( unless you have worked 5 years )
No sewage in sea etc etc
So why not check who is coming into the country |

"I will not give bank details
Nor should any body
you will if they ask or you won’t get accommodation. Simple. Spain is not like the woke uk, rules are rules and cant be bent. "
Where do you get this mis-information from - stop scare mongering and worrying people |

It's not fact, there is no requirement to provide actual bank account details. What you may be getting confused with is that the accommodation has to report the"Method of payment" for example Accommodation voucher, credit card, bank transfer or cash. |
