At a time of intense public debate on housing and tourism, the expert voice of Carlos Pérez-Lanzac sheds a necessary and strategic light on the future of the sector. In his recent opinion piece published in EjePrime, Pérez-Lanzac elevates the conversation, urging us to understand the Flexible Accommodation not as a problem, but as a solution and a historic opportunity for Spain.
