Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses therefore may not, under the licence terms, install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in tourism & travel.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Traveller data (passport details, payment information, stay history) is personal data under the GDPR. Use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; check whether chatbots store guest data on servers outside the EU. Automated personalised pricing or profiling must not lead to discriminatory offers. Communicate transparently when travellers are speaking with an AI assistant rather than a human.

Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
