Tourism: Misled and poorly represented B&B owners want regulations delay

© PRESS AND JOURNAL Bed and breakfast operators in Fort William are among those who have criticised the new regulations. B&B owners claim plans for a new licensing scheme for short-term lets will have “serious unintended consequences” on a recovering tourism sector. The scheme, which is due to go before all MSPs for a vote, would see short-term lets subject to annual licensing and monitoring fees, guest arrival and departure curfews, occupancy limits and regular property inspections. But the Scottish Guest House and B&B Alliance (SGHBBA) is calling for a rethink of the regulations, arguing that the legislation could require significant investment by 2023 and will be the “final straw in what has been the most depressing of years”.
