PESTEL: Political Factors
• For example, hotel chains and resort owners have
challenged Airbnb in courts and lobbied local governments,
some of which passed regulations to limit or prohibit short-
term rentals.
• Local residents in New York, San Francisco, Berlin, Paris,
and many other cities are also pressuring local governments
to enact more aggressive rules banning short-term rentals
because they argue that companies such as Airbnb
contribute to a shortage of affordable housing by turning
entire apartment complexes into hotels or transforming quiet
family neighborhoods into all-night, every-
night party hot spots.
