Effective Identity Verification for the
Olympics 2024: how is it done? Regula's vision (Graphic:

France anticipates a significant boost in tourism and economic
activity during the 2024 Olympics, with over 10 million visitors
projected to generate an estimated €3 billion in revenue. This
massive surge in visitors will not only increase the risk of fraud
targeting consumers and businesses but also pose substantial
challenges for security and access management. The influx of
international guests underscores the critical need for advanced and
comprehensive Identity Verification (IDV) systems.
Properly verifying and authorizing everyone at every stage of
their Olympic journey is essential for maintaining security and
ensuring smooth access to event venues and services.
1. Addressing Carrier Requirements for Advance Passenger
Information
With recent EU regulations mandating the collection of advance
passenger information, carriers face unprecedented challenges. Our
topic, "How Carriers Can Tackle New Requirements for Gathering
Advance Passenger Information," provides comprehensive insights
and practical solutions to help carriers comply with these
regulations efficiently. As the Olympics are hosted in France, this
information is crucial for ensuring smooth travel experiences for
millions of visitors.
2. Professional Border Verification Techniques
Border control is a critical component of international events.

positive guest experience. At the same time, manual entry of ID
details in hotels can often cause long lines, messes, and
delays.
Our topic, "How Data Entry Automation Transforms Travel &
Hospitality," highlights the latest innovations in reader
technology and software. It provides examples of automated check-in
processes and calls to action for hospitality businesses to
leverage these advancements for a competitive edge.
