Stricter Penalties for Illegal Holiday Rentals: Are Fines Enough?

Answer

Why are platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com being asked to do more in Mallorca?

Platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com hold useful information that can help authorities in Mallorca check whether a rental is legal. If a listing has no valid registration number, platforms could help block it or provide data for investigations. That would make enforcement faster and less dependent on manual searches.
