INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF TOURISM, TRAVEL AND HOSPITALITY LAW obtains relevant information for making decisions about the sector in smart tourism districts, thus being able to make better decisions taking into account the true extent of the phenomenon of the TUVs in that specific area or smart district (trying to avoid all the social and environmental problems that TUVs generate). Thus, if the Administration has accurate information on the number of existing accommodations in each sector (smart district), it can make appropriate decisions on urban design with a much broader and more detailed vision. 2. THE IMPORTANCE OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS In this ecosystem where inspection activities have to be developed, it is essential, within local public management, to strengthen public-private partnerships. We must put into practice the promotion of new interactions between the different subjects that operate in the market. Let us not forget that, in the field of tourism, and more specifically, in the field of tourist accommodation, new subjects have appeared on the market: collaborative platforms. Well, each of them must be clear about their responsibilities. Tourism administrations (and specifically their inspection services) are being overwhelmed by the great proliferation of tourist accommodations. So much so that the constant disputes between the political groups over whether or not there are enough inspectors dedicated to controlling this activity or whether they have sufficient resources to do so have been a regular feature of parliamentary activity7. Also, the confederations of entrepreneurs in the tourism sector have been making proposals in this respect. If the activity is not declared, that the owner of the activity has not submitted the responsible declaration or prior communication required for the start of the activity, the Administration faces a series of problems to guarantee the application of the regulations. One of them is the collaboration of the platform (which does not always occur). 7 http://www.europapress.es/madrid/noticia-comunidad-reforzara-inspeccion-viviendas-uso-turistico- -registrado-361-denuncias-2014-20180315131019.html Date of last access: 4 March 2019.
