None of which has anything to do with tourism.

On the contrary. Tourism is a major driving force behind the large scale conversion of long term rentals into hotels via Airbnb.

Long term rentals require much lower level of attention to tenants. If owners are okay with switching from long term to short term and servicing their property, I don't see a problem here. It just means they didn't have an opportunity to enter hotel business before, despite having means and desire.
