Airbnb has established a strategic partnership with Porto City Council to strengthen control over
unregistered accommodation, in an initiative that aims to promote sustainable, balanced,
authentic tourism that respects the quality of life in local communities.

Key measures:

• Creation of a digital portal that allows the Porto City Council to monitor accommodation listings, requesting the immediate removal of those that do not comply with local regulations;
• Launch of an awareness campaign for hosts, including information on mandatory civil liability insurance and other Local Accommodation rules;
• Promotion of tourist experiences that help to decentralize visitors throughout the city, better distributing the impact of tourism.

Expected impact:

• Significant reduction in illegal accommodation, which may result in greater transparency, safety, and urban balance;
• Improvement for residents, fewer disturbances caused by illegal accommodation or irregularities;
• Tourism more evenly distributed throughout the city, which may benefit neighborhoods other than the most central ones.

What does this mean for you?
