Italy’s police chief has ordered Airbnb-style owners to verify the identity of guests in person rather than remotely as visitor numbers surge, according to a circular seen by AFP on Tuesday. The measure is put into place following security concerns linked to the expansion of tourist accommodation.
Yeah we have a cabin in a nice secluded area which used to be just home owners to get away for a week or so and a few people who lived there full time.
It was a nice getaway to go fishing and have a campfire.
Then airbnb took off and people bought in to the neighbourhood to simply rent out the cabins every other week and now there’s strangers running around partying, setting off fireworks, looking into windows of people’s houses, etc. we are thinking we might as well rent out our cabin now because it’s just not enjoyable anymore so might as well profit like everyone else is.
