A new computerized program from Australia is now allowing hotel owners and managers to keep close tabs on hotel guests — like the duo above — who may be far more trouble than their worth.

The program, Guests Behaving Badly (GBB), is essentially an Interpol-styled data base of rogue hotel guests with a history of in-room naughtiness.

Or, as the GBB’s site explains: Members access our online database allowing them to identify guests with a recorded history of anti-social, intimidatory and destructive behaviour whilst staying in short-term accomodation.

Sounds like most of the folks staying in hotels in Times Square!

Badly-behaves guests who pop-up on the GBB watch-dog list will then have to pass through supplemental screening in order to secure reservations at member hotels.  And once on the GBB list, it can take upwards of four years to be removed.

For the moment, GBB can mostly be found in Australia — though we suspect it may catch-on worldwide quite soon.
