The Ministry of Consumer Rights in Spain announced on Monday that Airbnb ordered to withdraw over 65,000 holiday rent lists from the Platform, saying that they violated existing rules.
The Spanish government, as well as city councils and regional bodies, began general repression regarding tourism rental via sites such as airbnb and booking.com, which many Spaniards according to Spaniards create excessive tourism, spasm resources and renting for residents.
The ministry gave the ministry in a statement, most Airbnb offers to block did not contain a license number, while others did not specify whether the owner was a person or a corporation.
Airbnb spokesman did not immediately answer at the request for comment.
Consumer minister Pablo Bustinduy said that his goal is to end the general “lack of control” and “illegality” in the holiday rental industry and “favoring access to apartments and protection of consumer rights”.
The mayor of Barcelona Jaume Collboni took the most difficult movement of Spain so far in June last year, when he ordered a total ban on tourism rental by 2028.
