Il turismo residenziale fra proprietà e consumo: il modello del condhotel

The essay examines the current developments connected to the real estate market in the tourism sector, in which both elements of housing and interests of leisure set up the residential tourism. A good example is the condo-hotel business model, which is now finding diffusion in Italy. On one hand, a subject buys a condominium unit located in a hotel for using it during a certain time period every year; as long as the owner is not occupying it, the hotel manager holds the right to normally rent the apartment, sharing the incomes generated with the owner. From the aforesaid representation, the entire discussion is developed within the analysis of the types of property, especially condominium and time-sharing, as well as the real estate sales, which are ever closer to contract standardization and consumer protection.
