What are Tourist Use Housing or TUH?

Tourist use housing (VUT) is defined as a private property intended for tourist rental. In other words, they are residential properties owned by individuals that are rented out to third parties repeatedly and in exchange for payment. These are the rented properties that we generally know as "Airbnbs". In some locations, it is necessary to have a Tourist Use Housing License (VUT)

✌🏻At Weguest, we can help you obtain the tourist use housing license.

Tourist rental platforms

Tourist use housing rental platforms are technological companies that connect people who want to offer their homes for rent with guests who need temporary accommodations.

Like any business model based on collaborative consumption, it requires several parties to function: the owners of the properties (the hosts), the guests, and between them, the rental platforms, which directly connect both parties through their online platform. And as a result of this relationship between the three parties, a fourth party emerges: the community of platform users, who exchange information about their experiences, sharing opinions and advice.

The philosophy of these platforms is simple: hosts who rent out their homes for a short period to guests who will spend a few days in that place. But within this operation, there is a world of possibilities. In fact, it is already a reality that Airbnb has revolutionized global tourism in a few years.

Weguest has the Professional Cohost Airbnb distinction, a seal of quality and professionalism awarded by Airbnb, the main global tourist rental platform. Learn more about our collaboration with Airbnb at Professional Co-host Airbnb.
