SCOTLAND’S Tourism Secretary has “let the cat out the bag” after admitting that his own Government s plans to regulate Airbnb-style short-term lets could penalise traders in rural parts of the country. Businesses in more isolated parts of Scotland have warned the plans are a “blunt instrument” that will see trade impacted across the country when the industry is attempting to recover from the pandemic. The Scottish Government has drawn up plans to require owners of short-term let properties to obtain a licence from their local council or face fines of up to £50,000. If approved, the proposals will come into force on April 1. But local authorities will have until April 1, 2022 to establish a scheme in their area and open it to receive applications, with existing hosts having until April 1, 2023 to apply.

Tourism Secretary Fergus Ewing THOUSANDS of self-catering and B&B providers feel they have been excluded from Scottish Government funding after the sector was taken off a list of top-up hospitality support. Meanwhile, the Scottish Government has been forced into a U-turn after announcing that larger B&B and self catering traders can now apply for the strategic framework business fund – set up for those who have been forced to close by law by Covid-19 retractions. But smaller traders, who cater for less than seven guests, feel they have been left out of hospitality top-up payments after a communications muddle which saw them not included on the list.
