Nearly 900 vacation rentals have had their licenses revoked by Generalitat Valenciana, with Alicante being the most severely hit

The first 886 vacation rentals that lacked the necessary registration have been removed by the Generalitat Valenciana’s Tourism Registry. As part of an updating process that includes the 101,200 residences registered until December 2024, 800 of these homes are owned by the province of Alicante.

The primary cause of these properties’ removal from the Register, according to sources from the Ministry of Industry, Innovation, Trade, and Tourism, is that they do not have an NIF or NIE, which has caused the system to remove them. The remaining properties—roughly 26,000 in total—that lack a cadastral reference will be added to the process.

Properties that have been deregistered yet still rent out to tourists may be subject to penalties from the appropriate authorities.

A third of the 803 deregistered residences in the province of Alicante are in Benidorm, 55 are in Castellón, and 28 are in Valencia, according to the data presented. According to Marián Cano, the regional minister for tourism, this procedure is a part of the first stage of a comprehensive evaluation that will look at over 34,000 vacation houses overall.

The significance of Valencia’s Tourism Registry for lodging for visitors

A vital instrument for the tourism industry, the Tourism Registry offers vital data that enables the administration to perform a number of tasks required to guarantee the industry’s proper operation.

What does unsubscribing from the register mean?

It is crucial to remember that any apartments that are deregistered with the Generalitat Valenciana are no longer able to serve as lodging for tourists. They risk penalties for failing to comply with existing regulations if they keep operating without a registration.

Updating crucial information

The essential need for current information on lodging for tourists has been recognised by the General Directorate of Tourism. Electronic communications and the completion of administrative procedures are complicated by the absence of crucial information, such as the owners’ tax identification number, phone number, and email address.

The information in the Tourism Registry must be kept current and adhere to the standards set by the relevant authorities in order to prevent issues and guarantee appropriate administration.
