A website, a responsive email address, and social media page If till now, some tourist entities were found thanks to the reviews from tourists on a different platform, now this is one of the most important assets to survive in this time.

Data protection: California Consumer Privacy Act(CCPA) will take effect starting January 1st 2020 "Is this a new GDPR?" was my first thought. Actually there are some differences, but for sure it has the same purpose regarding the usage of personal data. The good news is CCPA is addressed to Californian based companies with a revenue higher than 25 millions dollars(or those companies that are selling data) and affects users that are living in California.

GDPR is mainly focused on "Cookies consent" and CCPA has "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" as a choice in the interaction with the user.
