Zuraida: Airbnb issue to be finalised by year-end

Feeling the pinch: Hotels are asking for a fair playing ground and to impose tax on Airbnb.

ALOR GAJAH: The standardisation of several issues, including regulations, licensing and taxes involving the hotel sector and global online accommodation service provider, Airbnb, will be finalised by the end of this year.

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said the standardisation would take into account various aspects and determine the best methods beneficial to both parties as Airbnb had the potential to contribute to the national economy.
