Hospitality NZ Taranaki Branch has called on council for regulations to be put on the hundreds of rooms and properties being rented out on Peer-to-Peer platforms. Unfair financial advantages and zero regulations held by Peer-to-Peer accommodation providers poses significant disadvantages to the commercial accommodation market.

The Branch provided a submission and presentation to Council advocating for a level playing field including regulation, rates, and health and safety requirements.
