ALDEN WILLIAMS/Stuff Christchurch Holiday Homes director Sue Harrison says proposed new rules are unviable and anti-tourism. One opponent has labelled the proposed rules “anti-tourism”, but moteliers don’t think the council has gone far enough. If passed, unhosted visitor accommodation in residential areas would be allowed for up to 60 days a year – with resource consent. The end result is anti-tourism.”Airbnb is labelling the proposed rules “outdated, regressive and restrictive”. The council said it would need to hire one additional staff member to make sure people were complying with the proposed rules.
