Abstract
This study explores how Scottish Government regulations impact self-catering businesses post-short term let legislation. Survey findings highlight adverse effects including reduced competitiveness and increased costs. Guided by "Better Regulation" principles, it identifies unintended consequences, urging policymakers to collaborate and adopt a data-driven approach. The research calls for legislative review to improve regulatory outcomes, contributing to broader discussions on tourism regulation and enhancing transparency in Scotland's self-catering sector.
