38% of tourist homes published in Spain on Airbnb have ads that do not include the license number.
The Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 has imposed on the company Airbnb the blocking of almost 66,000 illegal ads for tourist homes hosted on its platform.
In the case of the province of Las Palmas, that number rises to 59.9% of the ads, according to a study by the tourism intelligence company Mabrian collected by the tourism news agency hosteltur.
Among the fifty Spanish provinces there are 25 with an even higher percentage of ads without a license than that of the province that make up Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura.
The province of Huesca ties with Las Palmas at 59.9% and 23 other provinces have better data in terms of showing the license in their ads.
Huge contrast between Madrid on the one hand and Catalonia and Andalusia on the other
In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, ads without a license amount to 60.6%.
According to the report, based on artificial intelligence and Big Data analysis, "this does not mean that all ads that do not publish their license do not have it, but it is a metric that offers administrations an indicator of the potential pool of unregulated supply".
The provinces with fewer licenses indicated in their Airbnb ads are Albacete (86.8%) and Madrid (85.6%).
Above 70% are the provinces of Cantabria, Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara and Valencia.
With between 60 and 70% of the ads not stating the license, the provinces of A Coruña, Badajoz, Burgos, Castellón, León, Lugo, Murcia, Navarra, Ourense, Palencia, Pontevedra, Salamanca, Segovia, Teruel, Toledo and Zaragoza are located.
Next is Baleares with 67.8% of ads in which the license does not appear.
The provinces whose Airbnb ads contain more license numbers are in Catalonia and Andalusia.
Among the Catalan provinces, only 18.5% in the province of Barcelona, 4% in both Tarragona and Girona and 5.8% in Lleida do not have a license.
In Andalusia the numbers are even better. In Almería only 1.1% of the ads lack a license, in Cádiz (1.6%), Córdoba (1.2%), Granada (1.8%), Huelva (1.7%), Jaén (1.5%), Málaga (1.2%), Seville (1.6%).
