Stricter legislation to regulate Airbnb and Booking properties

Stricter legislation is being brought in to regulate holiday accommodation rentals on websites such as Airbnb and Booking.com.

In the very near future, properties posted on such websites will need to be enrolled on a national tourism register to be allowed to advertise.
The measure is part of a set of new laws that aim to clamp down on illegal rentals and simplify legislation.

I am registered with Alojamento Local with my Holiday Rental in Salema. I would like information on how to register my Holiday Rental property with The National Tourism Registry to avoid problems listing my Holiday Rental on AirBnB and Booking.com. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Jo Braswell
