Greek hospitality body blasts airbnb-style accommodation
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Short-term property leasing through online platforms like Airbnb is threatening not only the sustainability of small tourist lodgings, but the structure of Greek society itself, the Greek tourist accommodation business confederation (SETKE) warned on Tuesday.
After a slow start a few years ago, short-term renting has now snowballed and is threatening the structure of entire residential districts across the nation. The craze has transformed apartment buildings into tourist accommodations and changed the makeup of entire neighborhoods, according to SETKE.
SETKE also referred to the “low quality services” offered through such platforms, given that there was essentially no control over this sector. In their opinion, this “degrades the country’s overall tourist product and irrevocably harms the country’s image as tourist destination.”
