Concept 

In Aragon, dwellings for tourist purposes are called dwellings for tourist use.

In addition to its regulation, this section deals with the procedure for starting the activity.

These are those properties subject to the horizontal property regime, detached single-family homes or others belonging to private real estate complexes that are temporarily transferred by their owners, directly or indirectly, to third parties for their tourist accommodation, furnished and equipped in conditions of immediate use, marketed or promoted in tourist supply channels and for profit.

Homes for tourist use must be transferred in their entirety and the transfer for rooms will not be allowed.

It is presumed that the transfer of use of a dwelling is subject to the Regulation when its promotion or commercialization is carried out through tourist supply channels, or when it is transferred for a period equal to or less than one month per user.

Tourism supply channels include  travel agencies, reservation centres, other companies involved in the mediation and organisation of tourist services, including virtual intermediation channels, as well as the insertion of advertising in social media spaces related to travel and stays in places other than those of the tourists’ usual environment.

The  maximum accommodation capacity of these homes is as follows:

– 1 person for each room > 6 m2;

– 2 people per room > 10 m2;

– 3 people per room > 14 m2.
