Spain has pushed a new three-year tourist ban due to the effects of over-tourism and the recent strings of anti-tourism protests that rocked the country.
The Spanish country, which is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Europe, came to this conclusion after citizens and residents started voicing their frustrations on the impact of mass tourism in the country.
Their natural resources and the housing market were greatly affected. Málaga, a beautiful destination in Spain, would join other cities in the country to implement policies and restrictions, especially in the housing sector. This means there would be no registration of new holiday rentals in the city again.
If you want to visit Málaga City, book your Airbnb or rental house from the already registered properties in the City.
Before Málaga, other cities in Spain, like Madrid and Alicante, have established these housing policies in the past year.
However, Málaga hopes to carry its new policies beyond the next three years. Maybe with time, the city can thoroughly address the concerns of the residents.
Along with the rental policies, Spain has also introduced stricter information measures, where tourists are to provide more information about themselves while registering for a rental stay.
These policies were implemented to fight the increasing crime in the beloved European destination.
