Booking excluded 4093 advertising of tourist floors that did not meet the current legislation. The company’s decision is made after the requirement of the general management of consumers that discovered these fraudulent pages and will face the situation of other competitors, such as Airbnb, in anticipation of the authorizing file for refusing to block thousands of advertisements that may violate the law, according to the investigation of the department that is the Palindo.
In the case of booking, consumption sent the first requirement in which the company “eliminate illegal advertising” was called up, according to the sources of the ministry. “After this message, the multinational company removed more than 4,000 illegal tourist advertisements located on the Canary Islands,” indicates consumption that the company’s cooperation with the ministry gives the value after sending this first requirement, so that advertising complies with the current legality and offers everyone to guarantee the affecting character. ”
Although most advertisements are mentioned on tourist floors located on the Canary Islands, the company also retired, promoted in Asturia, Cantabria, Castilla Yun, Navarre, La Rioja and Castillal Manha.
The reservation pose is contrasting with the supply of another great platform. The consumption opened the sanctioning file in Airbnb in December for refusing to eliminate thousands of tourist rental floors that were announced without a license, which from the ministry believed that “this could lead to injuries or risks for the interests of consumers and users in general.”
In addition, the ministry ordered Airbnb to exclude another 65,000 ads. The Supreme Court of the Madrid court approved these actions through a car that is forced to block the first batch of 5800 ads. The platform appealed this decision, and the same court again confirmed its decision. However, Airbnb sources indicate that this decision “is a preliminary solution that is not included in the lower part of the case.”
Infraction detected by consumption, in any case, are similar. The most common is the publication of advertising without a license or a registration number, necessarily in several regional rules, but the announcements were also determined with numbers that are not consistent with those issued by the authorities or do not indicate and do not intend to falsify the legal nature of the tenants.
These actions are formulated in the strategy according to which the consumer’s ministry should “put a pregnancy on the indistinct spread of this type of placement”, as Bustrui said, which connects them with “difficulties in access to a decent housing that thousands of people in Spain currently suffer”.
