The High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has rejected an appeal brought by the Government of the Canary Islands against the model of tourist housing and with which it intended to expel them from tourist areas.
This struggle started with the judgment of 21 March 2017 of the High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands, which revoke four articles of the Decree 113/2015, of 22 May, approving the Regulations on holiday houses of the Canary Islands and since then the resources in this area do not cease to happen.
In a statement, the Spanish Federation of Tourist Housing and Apartment Associations (FEVITUR) has called on regional governments to respect European legislation and reminded the regional government that it has lost “all battles ” against the model of tourist housing.
The court has thus supported the supreme’s previous ruling which has already warned that vetoing tourist houses in some areas limited the freedom of enterprise of developers in holiday rental.
