Project No. TWG_202_2024 Project Title Research on economic impacts of short-term rentals in houses and apartments for visitors offered through digital platforms and potential regulatory implications in APEC economies Project Status Project in Implementation The expansion of short-term rentals in houses and apartments for visitors offered through digital platforms has not come without a controversial debate about its impacts. Some of the issues that would have emerged include economic impacts of this business model. In this scenario, APEC economies can aim to analyze the economic impacts of this business model as well as the feasibility of designing regulatory or non-regulatory interventions that promote them as sustainable business opportunities for local communities in the tourism sector, providing citizens with an evidence-based public value service. To this end, it is proposed to conduct research focused on statistical data, economic indicators, discourse analysis, trends and challenges, and current tourist regulations and others on the matter. The project includes an economic impact research, a comparative study of existing tourist regulations and others on the matter, a virtual workshop to discuss and debate the results, and a final report. |
