Tourism boom barring Spaniards from their own beaches
Spaniards are increasingly being priced out of their traditional coastal holidays due to an unprecedented tourism boom driving up hotel and rental costs. Official data shows a significant decline in local tourism to Spain 's top coastal destinations last year, while foreign visitor numbers surged by nearly two million. Spain, the world's second-most visited country, expects a record 100 million foreign visitors this year, with tourism contributing over 13 per cent of its GDP. Hotel prices have risen by 23 per cent in the past three years, and beachfront rentals have climbed by over 20 per cent since mid-2023, making them largely unaffordable for locals. The Spanish government is encouraging international tourists to explore inland areas to alleviate overcrowding, while many Spaniards are now opting for cheaper inland holidays or Airbnb rentals.

Homeowner ordered to take down dormer extension that looks like a 'football stadium executive box' after neighbours branded it 'a monstrosity'
A homeowner has been ordered to take down dormer extension that has been labelled a 'monstrosity' and compared to an 'executive box' at a Premier League football stadium. Rozia Hussian, 43, splashed thousands on the large extension atop her 125-year-old terraced property in Worcester, West Midlands, which has since increased the property's market value by more than 200 per cent. The mid-terraced house was bought for £100,000 in 2003 when it was in a ramshackled condition with peeling paint and chipped brick work. Over the last four years, the three-bedroom house on Wyld's Lane, has undergone a complete transformation and according to Rightmove it is now worth up to £320,000. A wall and intercom system was installed at the front of the house while a large dormer was built on top of the two-storey property. But Mrs Hussain now faces having to demolish it after Worcester City Council rejected her retrospective planning application. The council said: 'By virtue of its size, design and position, the addition of the large box dormer to the front of the property results in detrimental impact and creates significant harm to the character and appearance of the existing property and wider street scene in which it sits. 'The dormer at Wylds Lane is much more visually intrusive than the approved, well-designed, more subtle addition.' A wall and intercom system was installed at the front of the house while a large dormer was built on top of the two-storey property Mrs Hussain, who owns a newsagents in the city, said she didn't 'know anything' about the planning application being rejected, adding: 'I don't think it looks too big.' The decision has also divided her neighbours, who have split opinions on the rejection. One said they 'think the house looks much better now' as it was in a 'terrible state a few years ago'. They added: 'It now looks modern and clean. The dormer doesn't really bother me but I think some people are concerned because it looks right onto their properties.' Another resident, who lives nearby in a similar property, said: 'A few years ago I applied to have a dormer on my house but it was refused. One neighbour said they 'think the house looks much better now' as it was in a 'terrible state a few years ago' 'The reason the council gave was because it would not be in keeping with the area or sympathetic to the age and heritage of the property. 'In my view I just think that it would be grossly unfair if this woman was allowed to have a large dormer on her property when I was not. 'I mean the extension is very big. It looks like an executive box you get at Premier League football grounds. 'When my friend visited he asked what the monstrosity was on one of the houses so it's clearly noticeable to people.' Mrs Hussain has three months to tear down the dormer or face enforcement action. Mrs Hussain has three months to tear down the dormer or face enforcement action A city spokesperson said: 'An enforcement notice was served on 17 June that comes into effect on 17 July. 'This requires the applicant to remove the dormer and restore the roof or adapt the current dormer so that it complies with the planning permission given. 'They have three months to carry out the works. 'They have until 17 July to appeal against the notice.'

Airbnb hosts blindsided by luxury new feature offering guests access to private chefs, massages and glam
AirBnb is offering customers access to private chefs, spa treatments and a slew of other experiences at their rental homes - but hosts are outraged by the new feature. The travel-booking company announced in May that guests can purchase add-ons to enhance their getaway. Under the AirBnb app's 'Services' tab, customers can hire professionals including photographers, hairstylists, personal trainers, massage therapists and chefs that come directly to the property they booked. Those offering up their talents have been vetted and approved by Airbnb. They must submit their credentials before they are allowed on the platform. But many people who have listed their houses, condos and apartments on the site feel they are getting the short end of the stick because they don't get a cut of Airbnb's profit from it and are not notified when someone books a service at their property. 'Most hosts don't need more headaches, and that's what this feels like,' Rhonda Stephens, who lists her historic farmhouse near Nashville on the app, told the WSJ. Stephens has noted on her listing that services are banned. And while all hosts have the choice to opt out of the add-ons, some believe this could drive visitors away. Orlando-based massage therapist Marie Moreau was contacted by AirBnb to see if she wanted her business promoted on the platform. She had since booked several sessions through the short-term accommodation site, which she says went fantastically. Despite her success so far, Moreau said she understands why some hosts are turned off by allowing people to provide services in their homes. 'But the more restrictions you put on something, the more it doesn't really look appealing to the public,' she told the WSJ. Amy Maynor, who has three rentals in Jacksonville, Florida, said despite verification from AirBnb, she still opted out. She has earned super-host status, meaning she has been highly ranked on the app, and worries her reputation could be tarnished by a reckless third party. Maynor, who has privately arranged excursions and other offerings for her guests, said their is no way for her to independently check if providers are screened, licensed or insured. Her home owner's insurance explicitly applies to guests, but not those hired through AirBnb. She is also deterred from the idea because some of the service choices listed, such as massages, may simply make a mess. 'I don't want to get the oils all over the couch or the beds, or what have you,' she told the outlet. AirBnb said professionals must have liability insurance to operate under them. The company's own Aircover policy also included this kind of insurance, the WSJ reported. Regardless of Airbnb's reassurance about providers, infuriated hosts have taken to social media to express their discontent. In a Reddit forum devoted to hosts, one person wrote: 'I actually don't want to provide any services or have anything to do with any of this. 'I don't like the idea of anyone coming to my place to offer any services and I am pretty happy not to deal much with the guests and they seem like it that way too.' Another said that Airbnb has failed to consider that some properties may have limitations. 'Airbnb just doesn't seem to grasp that everyone's property is different and has different needs,' they wrote. 'Some have strict parking restrictions. Some have strict septic conditions. Some have neighbors that are nice enough but just don't want to be pushed too far.' 'Another issue that comes to mind is that if they provide a poor service,' one person chimed in. 'The guest might take it out on Airbnb hosts and rate our listing poorly because they will bundle the whole thing into one negative experience.' CEO Brian Chesky introduced 'Services' and re-introduced 'Experiences' in May as a part of the company's mission to handle all things travel-related. He previously announced his intention to turn his business into the 'Airbnb of anything.'
