A secure key exchange tool typical of Airbnb rentals and other online tourist accommodation platforms. These have more than doubled in the small town of less than 3,000 inhabitants adjacent to the airport. An “increase of 110% in one year”, according to the study carried out by the town hall, concerned about the phenomenon. This is far from an exception.
