Why ID Scanning is Crucial for Hotels

Hotels that do not implement ID scanning procedures run the risk of various fraudulent activities, such as identity theft, credit card fraud, and criminal mischief. Without proper identification, it becomes easier for individuals to impersonate others and gain access to hotel rooms, amenities, and other services. This not only puts the guests at risk but can also lead to financial losses for the hotel owners.
