Abstract: The new models of shared economy that are being introduced in Spain are generating a significant impact, on the tourism sector. The new model of sharing what is deprecated is causing important destruction to the tourist market. This rises a concern by traditional agents and neighbours, showing their displeasure to the new platforms of timeshare homes for rent. So, given good relations with one another, a definition is required, which is built on the basis of this new phenomenon.

Keywords: collaborative tourism; collaborative; accommodation; regulation; platforms; business; sharing economy; houses of tourist use; hotels; services; economy; Spain.
