There are some 13 million
'phantom' short rentals by tourists in Rome every year, a survey
commissioned by the Lazio tourism agency said Wednesday.
This amounts to 55.9% of the overall online supply, said the
survey, carried out by the Sociometrica firm.
"The situation is unsustainable," said the tourist agency,
EBTL.
According to hotel and extra-hotel estimates, the number of
annual tourist presences in Rome is 54.55 million.
More than 30% of these ar off the books so the real total is
57.116 million, the survey said.
