João Abel Lucas, president of the Local Accommodation table at the Commercial and Industrial Association of Funchal, confirms these complaints to Antena 1 and explains what is at stake.
Despite the problems, João Abel Lucas highlights that the Funchal City Council is receptive to criticism and promises improvements. Even so, the current procedure has complicated daily operations in Local Accommodation companies.
The president of the ACIF Local Accommodation table argues that the ideal would be for reservation platforms, such as Booking or Airbnb, to deliver the money and communicate the payment of fees directly to the Municipality of Funchal.
