Almost 50 percent of accommodation in Lisbon registered on the Airbnb digital rental platform does not have a valid license, with 30 percent of the properties not even having permission to be used for this purpose, according to a new study.
“Of the Airbnb accommodations listed in Lisbon, 30 percent do not have a license to operate and 17 percent do not use a single license for registered properties. In total, 47 percent of the accommodation in Lisbon registered on the Airbnb platform do not have a valid license”, says the study by José Pedro Lopes and Manuel Banza, post grad students in Data Science for Hospitality and Tourism, from Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
