YES YES YES....... The point was 'the copy not being destroyed and being used as scrap paper'which I think a few people missed HOWEVER I was also unsure about the legitimacy of having passports photocopies by the hotel and that has now been clarified for me as I now know that it seems to be the norm.
I still on next visits will always ask for the photocopies of my passport to be returned to me when I check out from hotel
