The ministry said the planned measures will not affect short-term rents for rural tourism purposes. The government sees the review of Airbnb regulation as a housing issue at a time when “a housing problem has developed in Budapest, which particularly affects young people and young families". The ministry emphasized that the government continues to co-operate with all professional organisations in the sector and is committed to maintaining a lively professional dialogue.
