THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE IS GETTING ANOTHER SOURCE OF REVENUE. AIR B-N-B WILL BE COLLECTING LODGERS TAX AND HOSPITALITY FEES FROM AIR B-N-B OPERATORS IN THE CITY. MAYOR R-J BERRY SAYS THOSE WITH AIR-B-N-B RENTALS CAN STILL MAKE EXTRA INCOME, BUT THIS LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR THE CONVENTIONAL HOTEL INDUSTRY.
AIR B-N-B COLLECTS THE TAXES AND FEES AND THEN REMITS THEM TO THE CITY. BERRY SAYS THE ADDITIONAL REVENUE WILL BE GO TO PROMOTING THE CITY AND FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
THE TAXES WILL BE COLLECTED STARTING NOVEMBER FIRST.
