Yes - the first time I came across this sort of random letting was up in Troon. I was working there briefly and a home owner told me how they welcomed the big gold tournaments as they could let out their house, and take a holiday effectively free of charge for the moment they received in rental.
I've since found out it happens all over the world, but here in the UK at other venues for the big golf tournaments, Wimbledon etc.
So the concept has been long established.
That doesn't mean it doesn't need managing.
But the issues raised by it and the factors that might need some managing are different whether you live in Dubrovnik, Ullapool, or London.
So it should be left to the local politicians to handle. It doesn't need pan European policy, as how will you deal with it? It cannot be the same solution for Barcelona and Asturias.
