In the information age, it can seem that finding answers to the questions we have has become a profession in itself. The advent of online forums has allowed us to quickly find someone asking the same questions, but the answers cannot always be trusted as reliable. It is lucky then, that those in the tourist accommodation sector have an ace up their sleeve when it comes to finding answers about the legislation that effects their business.
