Vacation rental type housing is not actually a basic necessity. It's a business, one of the oldest categories of business that exist. People who are members of a society get to decide what businesses exist in their society and what rules they have to follow. People who are not members of that society, who live somewhere else entirely, and who come for vacation or to visit for whatever reason, are not consuming "housing" they're consuming a different resource, which is usually called a "hotel" as shorthand, regardless of the fine details. Building enough housing for members of your society, including the inevitable growth of the long term population via in-migration or birth, is extremely important and something many places need to get better at. But it's got nothing to do with how many hotels you allow. Regardless of what you call them.
