Hamburg agrees on high penalties for Airbnb & Co.

Brussels. Airbnb needs action. Whether EU Commission, associations or municipalities: there is growing criticism of the sharing economy platform from several different sources. In the meantime, the EU Commission has even given the company an ultimatum. In Austria, the OEHV tourism association is also demanding stricter measures. Nevertheless, the city of Frankfurt has now signed a tax agreement with Airbnb in Germany. In New York, the City Council terminated discussion two days ago and condemned Airbnb to release the names or pay hefty fines.
