The trend in hotel blacklists
Late in 2006, hotels in Australia decided to take formal steps to deal with hotel guests whose actions were considered out of line.
Hotels in Australia came up with a database which stores information regarding guests who present problems when it comes to short-term accommodations. This database is accessible to hotel management and is to be kept private.
Word has it that hotel associations in the United States and Canada are soon to follow suit and establish a database of their own as well.
