CHTA Recommends Public-Private Sector Solutions To Regularize the Sharing Economy

CHTA is counseling the National Hotel and Tourism Associations and Governments of the Caribbean to work together to address the challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid rise of the online vacation home rental industry and other sharing economy businesses fueled by hosting platform companies like Airbnb and Uber. CHTA released The Caribbean Sharing Economy Resource Guide to support the destination’s local efforts to create a level playing field through the taxation and regulation of the sector and its engagement in local public and private sector tourism development efforts. Click here to download The Caribbean Sharing Economy Resource Guide.
