I would suggest that the study they put out has a number of factual errors in it and is based on incorrect data. We're happy to provide some of that analysis to this committee if that's helpful.
The other thing to point out is that when you think about what they describe as more commercial or professional operators on our platform, they fail to recognize that a number of them are actually hotels that are using our platform and paying all the same tax that other hotels do. They're just using our platform because we have a certain global reach. We have hotels on our platform, as well as bed and breakfasts, corporate housing suites, and executive stay companies. They've been around for generations and pay all taxes they're required to. They fail to understand that and report that in their reports.
There's a competitiveness here. They're concerned about a competitive threat, and that's all it is. We will prepare and send some more detailed suggestions as to why they're incorrect.
We're committed to paying taxes where we're obligated to do that, and we're committed to working in collaboration with governments to figure out where we can contribute in tourism, hotel, and lodging occupancy taxes because we are part of the tourism business and we want to contribute.
