backpacker hostels keeping records of guests
Why do you backpacker hostels and guesthouses keep a record of guests' passport numbers and issue/expiry dates?
I have no specific reason for asking, I'm just curious what these businesses do with my personal information after I check out?

Oops - to clarify, I should have said that its required of all foreign hotel guests. That's true in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe... Typically, you're asked to fill in the info when you arrive at the hotel and register.
