Dutch news channel NOS reports that the Spanish national government is taking down over 50.000 vacation rentals from online platforms.
In Spain over the last few years there has been increasing discontent with the popular vacation rental platforms. People consider these platforms to drive up rent and housing prices, to corrode local social cohesion, and in general make popular cities unlivable and overcrowded with mass tourism. Airbnb, the largest of these vacation rental platforms, has said it will actively comply.
