HOLIDAY let operators in Wales would be forced to get a licence and meet strict safety rules under a draft 'Airbnb law' unveiled by the Welsh Government.
-
Finance secretary Mark Drakeford has announced a draft tourism regulation bill which would introduce a mandatory licensing scheme for certain types of visitor accommodation.
The draft bill would make it an offence to provide or offer self-catering, self-contained properties without a licence, with ministers able to add other types of accommodation later.
Providers would face fines for noncompliance and be required to pay a fee for their licence.
A public register of all licensed properties would also be established.
