Do you think countries banning AirBnB has no effect on price of their shares?
- lumisota 8y agoWhich countries are those?
- Irishsteve 8y agoNot countries, and not illegal _but_ :-) I personally know that Barcelona an Dublin have introduced laws that make it more difficult to have more apartments hit the market (Licences with heavy penalties)
- prostoalex 8y agoIt’s not all black and white, though. Limited supply pushes up the prices (and AirBnB’s earnings are a percentage of the total spend), licensing requirements remove a few unknowns, decrease the potential of the host running some kind of bait-and-switch scam and make a rental appear more legitimate from the guest’s point of view. (typing this from an AirBnB apartment run by a licensed host in Barcelona)
- stevekemp 8y agoMy old home of Edinburgh has also talked about similar restrictions: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-42733066 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-427...

- akerro 8y agoJapan, recently a few cities in Spain and Portugal, also UK Manchester and Cardiff have stricter regulations.
- rco8786 8y agoI’m not aware of any countries they’re outright banned from. But regardless, every company faces regulatory challenges at scale. I don’t see why this is any different.
