In the past 10 years, there has been an absolute paradigm shift in the tourist accommodation sector worldwide. Apart from conventional accommodation, new forms of accommodation known as vacation rentals have appeared in the context of collaborative consumption. The objective of this paper is to analyze this new phenomenon, its origin, the causes of its growth and the consequences derived from it, such as gentrification and mass tourism, finally providing some possible solutions for them.
