Online accommodation platform Airbnb has come under fire for its rapid growth and for taking away business from established players in the accommodation sector, especially guesthouses and bed and breakfast establishments

Players in the accommodation sector said the absence of an enforceable and clear national policy aimed at regulating the accommodation industry had resulted in a free-for-all.

In Nelson Mandela Bay the Port Elizabeth Metro Bed and Breakfast Association , a representative of the formal accommodation establishments and with a membership of 100 registered establishments, has called for the regulation of the informal accommodation industry represented by Airbnb. The formal accommodation industry registered an increase of 0.08% in December compared with December 2017.

Qaba cited examples of San Francisco, which had regulated Airbnb since 2014, Barcelona, Anaheim, adding that other cities such as London, New York and Santa Monica had introduced less strict regulations to protect affordable housing, such as limiting the number of nights and banning the short-term rental of entire houses.

She said among the numerous problems which Airbnb posed were not complying with parking rules that stipulate there should be one off-street parking bay per room let and that they did not have business public liability insurance cover for their guests.
