Identification Cards used to track tourists, control immigration to Galapagos Islands

Zebra Technologies, a worldwide leader in card printing and bar code labelling solutions, recently announced that the government of Ecuador has purchased four Zebra P420i printers in order to control tourism and immigration to the Galapagos Islands via secure plastic identification cards.  The ID card printers are being used to print and encode contactless smart cards for all Galapagos residents, and every tourist to the islands.
