Newbie to BA - Passport Needed to book a tour
I hope someone can help. I am based in London and will be in BA in two weeks. I am trying to book some tours of BA through an independent travel agent based in BA. The tours do not cross borders. To actually book the tour, the travel agent has now requested me to send a scan of my passport. For me this is an unusual request. Maybe those more familiar with BA can tell me if it's the norm for visitors from outside Argentina to provide a scan of the passport.
Many thanks
Many thanks

Not a requirement for a tour as far as I know, but hotels and distance buslines are required to note down passport numbers for security and notice reasons, and this is to probably circumvent need to do this for the service providers.
