The organization has reacted to the TSJA's decision, which rejected the Granada City Council's proposal to apply hotel-like restrictions to tourist homes. The federation stresses that this judicial decision should not be interpreted as a victory for tourist housing, but rather as a call to action for proper regulation.
“"The High Court's ruling does not question the need to regulate the phenomenon of tourist housing, but rather indicates that the instrument used by the City Council was not appropriate, as it was understood that urban planning was being modified without the corresponding procedure."
The federation highlights the importance of regulation to address tourist pressure in certain neighborhoods of Granada, where the concentration of tourist housing has exceeded reasonable levels. It warns that neighborhood coexistence, access to housing, and the balance of the destination are at stake.
“"This is not a 'anything goes' situation after the ruling. Regulate, yes, but with legal certainty, adequate urban planning, and institutional consensus."
Granada's hotel sector argues that all types of tourist accommodation must operate under equivalent conditions regarding safety, taxation, regulations, and control, seeking to avoid legal uncertainty that could affect both investment and the destination's reputation. The federation advocates for a more precise autonomous framework and effective coordination among administrations to achieve sustainable and competitive tourism.
