Tourist apartments ask the autonomous communities to apply the Andalusian model

The Federation of Tourist Housing and Apartment Associations of Spain FEVITUR and the sector it represents, asks the rest of the communities in Spain to apply the open governance model that has recently been approved in Andalusia. It points out that the Andalusian regulations do not generate confrontation with hotels and underpin the tax contribution and the quality of employment in this type of housing..

Tourist apartments ask the autonomous communities to apply the Andalusian model.
«There are examples of collaboration in Spain like the one we see now in Andalusia, and for many years in the Basque Country, where there is so much alignment with public administrations, as an exemplary coexistence between all kinds of accommodation typologies. We hope that these examples constitute the backbone for the rest of the autonomous communities where public agents and administrations collaborate for the sake of quality., legal certainty and qualification of all types of accommodation, that have made Spain the second largest recipient of tourists in the world and an export power of tourist know-how, in which other countries look to manage tourism» – Miguel Angel Sotillos

«Both Andalusia and the Basque Country, prove that an alignment between the sector's own agents is possible, hotels and public administrations. The consensus achieved in both territories challenges all parties involved, from the representatives of the tourist housing sector itself, to hotel employers and those responsible for public administrations.

«The management company model that regulates the Andalusian decree lays the foundations to consolidate the professional management system that best integrates with the tourism value chain.

Tourist housing management companies provide an obvious tourist accommodation service that, when doing so in one's own name, with an organization of material and personal means, being also the owners of the activity of the homes they market, entails both fiscal responsibilities, as civil and administrative, very concrete and very easily enforceable now in Andalusia, relating compliance with the requirements applicable to tourist homes, that are subject to registration in the registries of the autonomous communities, with the owner thereof". – Asier Pereda
