The discussion of industry impact of short-term housing rental companies such as Airbnb is more focused on the hotel in short dustry rather than OTAs. Several states, such as Michigan, have a bed tax on individual hotel rooms. The tax dollars collected are used to fund Convention and Visitor Bureaus' (CVBs) operations, such as Blue Water Area Convention and Visitor's Bureaulocated in Port Huron Michigan. Right now, services provided via Airbnb in Michigan do not include this bed tax, which means state dollars to fund CVBs cannot be collected; however, large metropolitan areas such as San Francisco. have passed legislation requiring an occupancy tax be collected. These tax dollars, collected from consumers in the reservation process, serve a similar purpose as those collected from overnight hotel stays.
