Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Fenn:
It is a priority. Everything that happens in terms of tourism must be sustainable. In any destination, there must be a balance between the people who work and live in a destination and those who visit it.
That means that conflicting interests have to be managed. We have seen right across the world the problem that short-term rentals have created for people who live in communities in long-term rental markets and we would certainly say this legislation is long overdue.
