Tourism Law in Europe
36 extinguisher and similar situations, all of which are questionable but tacitly accepted at the entrance to the accommodation. This being the case, it will be difficult to defend that the host knows the goods carried by the traveller, meaning that the host knows their access in a non-clandestine manner, as we have seen so that a necessary deposit can be constituted 78 . Even less so will the direct deposit of any property of special value be possible, even when the dwelling itself has some mechanism such as safe deposit boxes since at no time is there a transfer of possession of anything that could generate the deposit contract ancillary to the accommodation contract. In any case, what has been said does not mean that the security measures that must be provided in any dwelling are conspicuous by their absence. On the contrary, within the framework of the accommodation contract itself, we have insisted that the service must be provided in an environment of security, an environment that also includes not putting the effects that the guest brings with him at risk, providing the dwelling with the standard security measures and even, if possible, with some other measures such as security doors and locks. However, it is not possible to require the host to take the care and make the provisions that can be made for a tourist establishment, as the rotation of guests and the frequency of the service will compensate for the expense of these special control measures. This type of expenditure does not seem so easy to require in the operation of tourist dwellings that may or may not be occupied for a short or long time during the year. At least, it does not seem to be in the European Union's mind, as can be deduced from the different documents in which it has dealt with the collaborative economy and its services, the possibility of requiring additional requirements for these activities, even if this tends to provide the user with greater security. It can be concluded from the above that, in addition to the minimum services provided, this low-cost accommodation contract entails fewer duties for the host than those required of the host in the regulated sector 79 and, consequently, the host will assume fewer risks. 78 On this point, vid . FERNÁNDEZ PÉREZ, N. El alojamiento colaborativo , op . cit ., p. 164, is clear when he points out that it does not seem that a necessary deposit can exist here. 79 It is not in vain that this new dimension of tourism, as stated by BAUZÁ MARTORELL, F. J. “Intervención administrativa en la vivienda turística vacacional”, op . cit ., p. 342, has completely altered the legal relationship between the provider and the user of tourist services.
