We all know that when checking in to the hotel, the check-in person needs to show his ID card, and at the same time, he or she must also carry out a robot face check, but since January this year, the hotel in our capital has completely canceled the mandatory face brushing, and our reporter has also conducted on-the-spot observations, let's take a look.
The reporter first came to the lobby of a hotel located in Saihan District and found that customers only need to show their ID documents to check in when they check in.
In August 2023, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) issued the Regulations on the Security Management of the Application of Facial Recognition Technology, which clearly stated that hotels, banks and other business premises shall not force individuals to accept facial recognition for identity verification on the grounds of business handling. The abolition of "mandatory face scanning" not only streamlines the check-in process for travelers and avoids the leakage of facial information, but also eliminates the need for hotels to invest a lot of money in purchasing and maintaining facial recognition equipment.

In fact, the speed of check-in can be accelerated, and for the guest, the guest will have less time to wait, and his overall check-in experience will be improved a lot.
The reporter also learned from the public security detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau that the hotel industry in the city has fully implemented this policy, and the public security organs are also supervising and inspecting.
