Introducing the GASCA Project: Strengthening GDPR Awareness in the German and Turkish Accommodation

Updated: May 30, 2023

Hello everyone!


We are excited to announce the launch of the GASCA Project, a collaborative effort between AIFORLIVES GmbH from Germany and AYDO YAZILIM from Turkey, supported by the Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung (BiBB) under the Erasmus+ Vocational Training Small Scale Partnership Programme. Our primary goal is to strengthen GDPR awareness and compliance in the accommodation sectors of both Germany and Turkey.

Why is this important? The accommodation sector handles vast amounts of personal data daily, making GDPR compliance crucial to protect the privacy of customers and employees alike. Unfortunately, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often face challenges in understanding and implementing GDPR regulations due to limited resources.


The GASCA Project aims to address these challenges through a three-step approach:

  1. Measure GDPR awareness levels among SMEs in the German and Turkish accommodation sectors.

  2. Develop a tailored training course for employees in the sector, raising awareness and providing practical examples.

  3. Prepare an assessment report analyzing and comparing the situation in both countries.

  4. Prepare an online video course that will help the employees in the accommodation sector to get basic and practical knowledge on privacy and GDPR compliance

Our project timeline spans 12 months, during which we will carry out these activities and engage with the accommodation sector actors in Germany and Turkey.


We believe the GASCA Project will provide significant benefits to the accommodation sectors in both countries. By raising awareness and enhancing compliance, we aim to create a safer and more trustworthy environment for customers while mitigating risks for businesses. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the development of a responsible organizational culture that respects data privacy and ensures regulatory compliance.


As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite you to follow our progress and stay informed about the latest updates and resources related to GDPR compliance in the accommodation sector. Together, we can work towards a more privacy-conscious and responsible hospitality industry.


Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your support!
