Paris is actively reducing its tourist apartment supply by enforcing new regulations, with one study showing a potential 40% decrease in Airbnb bookings and supply in certain areas due to policy changes, and a separate report noting a 50% fall in listings between early 2023 and early 2024.
The city's efforts include requiring registration for tourist rentals, limiting the number of days a primary residence can be rented out, and imposing fines for non-compliance.
A mandatory registration system for tourist rentals has been accurately introduced, allowing the arrondissements to track and regulate the supply of short-term accommodations.
Tourist accommodations must meet satisfactory energy performances (DPE) ratings, with owners facing fines for failing to comply.
In addition, digital platforms are required to transmit accurate data to authorities, helping to enforce regulations and identity illegal listings.
The French capital has shown some satisfaction in its policy of fighting tourist apartments, because, after a multitude of measures, it has managed to reduce the number of place from 98,000 in 2024 to 60.000.
According to l' 'Echo Touristique, the travel trade's leading travel & tourism media brand in France that delivers news, analysis and in - depth, award - winning coverage of every sector of the industry, the Deputy Mayor for tourism, Frédéric Hockquard said that the goal is not to reach zero but to find a level that does not comprise the ability of Parisians to find accommodation.
The municipality says that is now between 35 and 40 million visitors a year and that beyond this threshold there is a risk.
Paris gets 12% of employment directly from tourism, which generates €15 billion in revenue. It is particularly interesting to remember that the French capital no longer has face to face tourist information, but it has 63 kiosks or external professionals and now everything is mainly online.
The restrictive measure have been taking their toll on the business and apparently, the most effective is the one that has limited the annual time during which a home can be dedicated to the tourist rental business to 90 days.
