> Airbnb: we don't need to own hotel properties and employ managers and housekeepers

This is correct for AirBnb, but incorrect for the value chain. Someone must have the flat on their balance sheet. Someone must have a cleaner lady on a payroll. Is Airbnb value chain more effective that hotel value chain? Maybe. Maybe not. But for AirBnb host having a tax advantage of not being charged as a tourism business while in fact being one was clearly an advantage.

Similar laws have been passed all over the world, including the US where it goes by a city or a state, Las Vegas being notable.
