Fourth Global Reformbnb Forum
2022-05-23 08:00 - 2022-05-24 17:00 (Europe/Madrid)
The fourth Global Reformbnb Forum was held in Paris in May 2022. On that occasion, it was the first meeting with a stable situation following the health crisis, and a detailed account was given of the situation worldwide, as well as the consequences of the Pandema and the opening up of tourism, which has led to an exponential growth in illegal accommodation. During the event, the representatives of hotel associations, as well as international academics, have shared experiences, studies and data to highlight the serious problems caused by the commercialization of illegal tourist accommodation in their destinations and the lack of specific regulation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a new challenge of the hotel industry, attendees agreed to highlight the comparative grievance during the pandemic between hotel establishments and tourist flats that share uses with neighbors, seriously affecting the coexistence with the environment. Thus, for example, while hotels were forced to close, the short term rentals that share uses with neighbors had the opportunity to continue operating, renting short term or converting them to conventional rentals on the long term market.
Following with the task started in 2021, discussions on digital distribution continued, especially the problems arising from the abusive clauses applied by the OTAs that affect hotel establishments and, the responsibilities of the main online platforms.
