Banff, situated in the Federally Controlled National Park, has implemented a stringent zoning process. Any property in Banff that participates in VRBO must adhere to the regulations set by the Bed & Breakfast program, ensuring compliance with all zoning laws and rules. On the other hand, Canmore has a more lenient bylaw policy regarding VRBOs. Consequently, the town experiences a surge in new development each year and is gradually transforming into a VRBO haven.
