Spain blocks more than 65,000 Airbnb holiday rental listings
MADRID (Reuters) -Spain's consumer rights ministry said on Monday it had ordered Airbnb to withdraw more than 65,000 listings for holiday rentals from its platform, saying they violated existing rules. The Spanish government as well as city councils and regional authorities have launched a general crackdown on tourism rentals via sites such as Airbnb and Booking.com, which many Spaniards say are creating excess tourism, cramping housing stock and making renting unaffordable for locals. A spokesperson for Airbnb did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
