"This is the biggest problem in our city," Mayor Jaume Collboni said at a June press conference, highlighting the impact of vacation rentals on affordable housing.
"For people who earn an average income, this has become a real problem," Collboni elaborated, noting the staggering 68% increase in rent over the last decade.
Researcher Konstantin Kholodilin explained, "The more vacation apartments there are, the more rent rises," indicating a direct correlation between tourism and housing costs.
The boom of the vacation rental market, largely due to platforms like Airbnb, has resulted in over 700 million overnight stays in the EU in 2023.
