Whilst I agree with both sides of this issue ie. supporting Scotland’s revenue raising tourism industry, & also respecting neighbours, neighbourhoods, & housing stock.
However, nobody has addressed how this is all going to be monitored/policed. I foresee that it will be the usual genuine & honest hosts that will raise their head above the parapet & be licenced. The unscrupulous will continue to do as they please. I can only speak for Argyll & Bute council, although I suspect they are not alone, in that they do not have a planning enforcement officer, & no foreseeable budget to recruit one. How then/who then will be ensuring that all properties are licenced?
