The growth of digital tourism and the use of technological tools in hotels, travel agencies, and entertainment services make the sector particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks. The National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE) has identified tourism as one of the strategic sectors that must strengthen its security systems to protect user data and ensure the functionality of its infrastructures. From ransomware attacks to personal data breaches, the threats are diverse and can severely impact customer trust.
INCIBE works to provide resources, guides, and technical assistance to companies in the tourism sector, helping them mitigate risks and adopt best practices in cybersecurity. These measures not only protect organisations but also strengthen customer confidence, as consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of securing their personal data.
Additionally, INCIBE offers incident response services and promotes collaboration among sector stakeholders to share information on emerging threats and innovative solutions.
