In a move to respond to the digital transition of the tourism industry, EBI together with 19 other organisations representing the travel and tourism sector at European level agreed to sign a Code of Conduct on data sharing in the tourism sector. This non-binding document clarifies the main aspects to consider in data sharing agreements and should help to build trust and foster data sharing agreements. 

This document aims at building trust between tourism stakeholders and providing support in the creation of mutually beneficial data sharing agreements in the tourism industry. By setting out common principles (such as interoperability, security, liability...) definitions and guidelines for data sharing, this document contributes to the EU-wide architecture for non-personal data exchange. It is a timely tool to respond to several challenges with regards to the access, use and sharing of data in a high-quality manner. It highlights how to ensure privacy and security when sorting and processing data. At the same time, this document establishes a level playing field where the public sector, private sector and stakeholders have equal chances and opportunities to use and share data in tourism.
