B.C. short-term vacation rental platform Airbnb says thousands of bookings are at risk of being cancelled.

The government has said platforms such as Airbnb can't post listings without confirming registration with the province.

Many hosts whose properties qualify can’t register due to glitches and other problems with the government’s system.

The Opposition says the regulations are running counter to efforts to promote local travel.
