This is a distraction for an easy target. It won't help and it will make the quality of hotels worse.
It will also have a lot of under the table deals.
But hey, instead of fixing the real problems, it's easy to attack things some people don't use. They do the same to electric bikes and scooters. Ban ban ban! Things will surely improve!
Yes and its a major problem. Some locations are already acting out.

Its not a distraction - its just a start. And hotel quality is still what it was before Airbnb and it will stay like that after airbnb goes away. The standards that national and international tourism institutions apply to the hotels has not changed one iota because of airbnb.
