Holiday Rental Association Leader Re-Elected Amid Regulatory Challenges

Holiday rental association head re-elected for fourth term

Doris Borrego is to remain at the helm of the Canary Islands Holiday Rental Association (ASCAV) for another four years. She received the unanimous backing of its members, marking what will be four consecutive terms for the association’s board. ASCAV is the largest regional association of holiday rental owners and managers in all of Spain.

Major challenges ahead for the sector

The association, which now has over 2,100 members, states it faces major challenges in the next four years. These include the forthcoming modification of Law 6/2025, which in its view “practically eradicates the sector”, participation in national regulatory initiatives, and maintaining a European presence to defend the interests of small owners and local managers.

National and European leadership roles

To tackle these challenges, ASCAV emphasises that it is the only association representing the sector in the Canaries. It leads the presidency of the Federation of Holiday and Temporary Rental Owners’ Associations (FAPAVAT) and is also a driving force behind the European Short-Term Rental Alliance (ESTRA). ESTRA’s founding members currently include Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain, and Romania, with more EU countries set to join shortly.

Engaging with European regulators

Despite the recent creation of the European Confederation, the European Commission has already requested its active participation in the upcoming EU regulatory framework. This framework is expected to be finalised by the end of this year. The goal is to offer representation to small private owners and local management companies against large investment funds and major holders.

“Undoubtedly, an arduous task at a turbulent time across all administrative levels, which will determine the future of this activity,” the entity concluded.
