HOTREC calls for a level playing field and fair competition in the EU for the hospitality sector. We advocate for a specific instrument that addresses the complex and diverse regulatory questions presented by the STR industry. The main objectives include the introduction of a robust and efficient EU-wide registration system; or outlining clear and comprehensive data-sharing requirements. HOTREC made its first call for a level playing field for hoteliers vis-à-vis STR in 2014 and has since then produced several brochures and policy papers addressing how to introduce rules which are adapted to STR services and necessary regulatory requirements. 

We commit to issue and disseminate during the course of 2022 our position and research study among the EU institutions as well as with members of HOTREC and other stakeholders via our website. We will continue to share our position on the matter including via meetings with interested parties and stakeholders in order to reach a fair framework on the topic. Through our internal working group on STR held twice a year as well as during our biannual General Assemblies, we’ll continue to gather information about STR developments in EU countries and share the latter with the EU stakeholders during the designing phase of the STR regulation. We intend to continue monitoring STR developments during the implementation phase of the STR initiative and act as an information sharing platform between our members
