The mayor of the Spanish city of #Barcelona has pledged to eliminate short-term tourist rentals in the city within five years. The mayor does not plan to renew any of the 10,101 tourist licenses granted to landlords when they expire in November 2028. Mr Collboni said that the measure would be “equivalent to building 10,000 new homes”. Justifying the plan, he said rents had risen by 70% over the past 10 years and had become unaffordable. #Airbnb #Spain #travel
