I'm going with option A. Placing ads on European travel websites? That's like waving a big 'GDPR, come get me!' flag. The hotel might as well just roll out the red carpet for the data protection authorities.

Option B is the way to go! Collecting public data from business directories? That's a totally legit way to get those European travelers without having to worry about the GDPR. Genius!

Haha, imagine the hotel trying to avoid the GDPR by just not translating their website. 'Sorry, you can't book here if you don't speak English!' That's not going to work, guys.

I'm not sure, but option C looks a bit sketchy to me. Sending discount offers to guests with foreign addresses could be seen as a way to specifically target Europeans, which could trigger GDPR compliance.

Option D seems like the obvious choice here. Translating the website based on the visitor's IP address is a clear indication that the hotel is targeting European travelers and is likely to fall under the GDPR's jurisdiction.
