For every 14 new Airbnb rooms in Madrid, a restaurant opens. The greatest increase in bars next to new Airbnb accommodations has occurred in census sections outside the Centro district.

The same increase of 14 Airbnb listings in a neighborhood means 11 new jobs in the hospitality sector, such as waiters and cooks. The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, announced in October that in 2024 he would introduce a new regulation of tourist rentals, but details about that reform remain unknown.
