In November 2018 we held ReformBnB NYC, the first international summit of hotel associations grappling with the challenge of the short term rental industry. The main goal of the summit was to discuss on how to face all together the damages caused by the STR industry. During this summit, the hotel associations sign a manifesto of 8 points: with a clear constructive will, with a clear proposal to fit in a sustainable way the ‘real’ shared economy and to banish the professional operators who hide their illegal activity. All participating entities acknowledged the importance of the meeting and the need to continue working together to completely eradicate illegal STR, with the organization of periodic rotating meetings in different cities around the world.
