This is due to the terrorist attacks that are increasing in all this area for a certain time. In recent months, security has deteriorated further with warriors groups attacks have targeted Mali and Burkina Faso in particular.

Given this situation, many West African countries have taken radical measures to prevent terrorism and other malicious acts. These measures have imposed, inter alia, the need for all hotels to be equipped with passport scanner/reader solution to identify all guests staying in these hotels. After hotels, other sectors of public and private life will soon be affected by these measures.
