Airbnb crackdown: Norway says locals pushed out of housing market

Norway's government is preparing to tighten rules on short-term rentals as tourism booms in Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands. Homes in these areas are increasingly taken over by platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com, leaving fewer properties for residents. Locals are being priced out of bidding rounds, the government says. New measures aim to slow the trend.
