Airbnb's have changed the way the world travels. Now, for a fraction of the price of a hotel, you can sleep in an apartment, or even someone's spare bedroom that's right where you want to be.
However, a recent investigation by Blackpool councillors discovered that more than 500 of the businesses are trading in the resort. It's a number locals fear will change the town forever, LancsLive reports.
Hoteliers are worried about what this number of unmanned holiday lets means for them and their businesses, with some concerned that they will end up being used as 'party houses', meaning a rise in antisocial behaviour and a blow for Blackpool's reputation.
