These factors include a rising interest in culture and heritage, ongoing urban redevelopment and conversion processes, and the introduction of new experiences and activities. Two particularly influential factors contributing to this growth are low-cost travel, which facilitates more accessible access to urban destinations, and the emergence of new types of accommodation, such as short-term rental (also known as local accommodation or Airbnb-type accommodation). The sudden and continuous growth of this type of tourist accommodation brings new challenges to cities and local communities. On the positive side, it contributes to job opportunities, the dynamism of the local economy, and urban revitalization. On the other hand, it also represents more difficulty in retaining the local population in city centers, as more and more buildings are converted into hostels and tourist apartments. In this context, it becomes essential to conduct studies evaluating the impacts of these dynamics in urban areas and how they influence residents\u2019 and visitors\u2019 perspectives. Therefore, this study aims to identify the main transformations resulting from short-term rental (STR) development, focusing on the impacts felt by tourists and residents in Porto. A questionnaire was distributed to tourists and residents in Porto\u2019s city center in June 2023. The results reveal differences in opinions between tourists and residents, particularly concerning historical heritage preservation, local population relocation, and reduced housing availability for residents. Nevertheless, there is a similarity in their opinions regarding the stimulus that local accommodation brings to the economy and the rehabilitation of buildings and urban areas. This study reinforces the need to pay more attention to the future development of tourist accommodation in city centers, especially regarding local policies and territorial planning, to balance better tourism development and local communities\u2019 quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/urbansci8030083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,12]],"date-time":"2024-07-12T11:28:03Z","timestamp":1720783683000},"page":"83","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Impact of Short-Term Rental Accommodation in Urban Tourism: A Comparative Analysis of Tourists\u2019 and Residents\u2019 Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3064-1514","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helena","family":"Albuquerque","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"REMIT\u2014Research on Economics, Management and Information Technologies, Portucalense University, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"GOVCOPP\u2014Research Unit on Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4475-2744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana A.","family":"Quintela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REMIT\u2014Research on Economics, Management and Information Technologies, Portucalense University, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5392-5128","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REMIT\u2014Research on Economics, Management and Information Technologies, Portucalense University, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CEGOT\u2014Centre of Studies in Geography and Spatial Planning, Humanities Faculty, University of Coimbra, 3004-530 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"444","DOI":"10.1177\/14673584211057568","article-title":"Analyzing the influence of short-term rental platforms on housing affordability in global urban destination neighborhoods","volume":"22","year":"2022","journal-title":"Tour.
