Tensions are beginning to grow across popular holiday destinations due to unregulated accommodation.
The Welsh Parliament has heard how properties are being "crammed with visitors", leading to disputes between neighbours and dampening community relations. Now, a new licensing scheme will be set up to help quell the issues.
Despite the Welsh government attempting to tackle the problem, critics have stated that the licensing is nothing more than a leeway to introduce a visitor levy - often called tourism tax. Tom Giffard, Tory MS for South Wales West, told a plenary meeting in Cardiff that the scheme fails to put "Wales on a level playing field compared to other nations", North Wales Live reports.
