Owners of tourist accommodation: Directorate General confirms tourist use is not equivalent to hotel use for planning purposes

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal against the suspension of a short-term rental registration number in Jaca. The ruling establishes that tourist accommodation has a distinct nature, separate from hotels, hostels, or guesthouses (Art. 4.2.6 of the Jaca PGOU). Consequently, they cannot be classified under 'hotel tertiary use' to circumvent the planning requirements mandated by local regulations.

In 2 key points

  1. Tourist accommodation constitutes a category distinct from hotels, hostels, and guesthouses (art. 4.2.6 PGOU Jaca)
  2. The registration application must include the enabling title proving use complies with local planning regulations (Art. 9) (art. 9)
