Airbnb is planning to implement a new protocol for accommodation listings in Andalucia that makes it easier for hosts to comply with tourism regulations.

Hosts on Airbnb platform in Andalucia can apply for inclusion of their tourist accommodation registration number or declare exemption from this obligation directly on the Airbnb webpage.

Below are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the implementation and compliance process.

What does current Andalucian legislation say about tourist accommodations?

Before renting your accommodation, you need to find out if it is among the types of tourist accommodations covered by tourism legislation. If it is the case, before renting your lodging, you need to submit an affidavit to the competent tourism board. This will allow you to rent your accommodation from the moment the affidavit is submitted. The tourism authorities will automatically enter your accommodation in the Tourism Register of Andalucia, and you will be assigned a registration number.

What does this registration entail?

The registration number confirms the entry of the establishment in the Tourism Register of Andalucia. The tourism authorities will provide you with your registration number.

Who needs to register?

All tourist accommodation establishments covered under the Andalucia Tourism Act and its implementing regulations.

The entry of dwellings to be used as tourist accommodations will be mandatory when they are dwellings or rooms located on residential land, they are rented for tourist purposes, in exchange for money, and they are marketed through tourist offering channels such as travel agencies, companies that broker or organize tourist services and channels that include the possibility of booking an accommodation, as indicated by Decree 28/2016, of February 2, on dwellings to be used as tourist accommodations and amending Decree 194/2010, of April 20, on tourist dwelling establishments.

Dwellings that do not meet the above requirements, or ones leased to a single person for more than two months on a continuous basis, to which civil laws (Civil Code and Urban Leasing Act) will apply, do not need to be registered.

In any case, the existence of circumstances that determine that tourism legislation does not apply to the rental must be able to be verified by documents or some other sufficient proof.

What happens if I want to rent my accommodation solely on a long-term basis? And what if my accommodation is a rural country house, a tourist dwelling or a rural tourist accommodation dwelling?

If you only plan to rent your accommodation to a single guest on a continuous basis for more than two months, tourism law does not apply, in which case you wouldn’t have to submit an affidavit or obtain a registration number in the Tourism Register of Andalucia.

• Hotel establishments (hotels, hostels, boarding houses and hotel-apartments)

• Decree 194/2010, of April 20, on tourist dwelling establishments
• Decree 164/2003, of June 17, 2003, on tourist campground planning
