Italy’s Self-Check-In Ban: Impacts on Small Hosts and the Global Market In this exclusive interview, Marco Celani, CEO of Italianway (https://www.italianway.house/) and President of AIGAB (https://aigab.it/), shares his insights on Italy’s recent self-check-in ban and its far-reaching implications. Marco explains how this stricter interpretation of existing laws poses significant challenges for small short-term rental operators, potentially driving them out of the market while increasing operational costs for larger players. We discuss: - Why the ban was introduced and its connection to public safety and overtourism concerns. - How operational rules, rather than outright bans, can disrupt and reshape entire markets. - What this means for small hosts in Italy and beyond. - Steps professional managers can take to adapt and advocate for balanced regulations.
