Requires hotels to clearly show all fees before customers book rooms.
The problem
Hotels often advertise low prices but add hidden fees at checkout, surprising customers. This practice confuses travelers and makes it hard to compare hotel prices fairly.
The proposal
Hotels must display all mandatory fees upfront during the booking process. Customers see the total price before they commit to the reservation.
The impact
Hotel customers get clearer pricing information. Hotels may need to change their booking systems. The travel industry adjusts how it advertises and sells rooms.
People can compare hotels fairly when all fees are shown upfront. No more surprises when the final bill arrives. Customers make better decisions about where to stay.
Hotels that offer good value can advertise it properly. Unfair pricing practices are reduced. The market rewards hotels with transparent, fair prices.
Clear pricing reduces customer disputes and confusion. Hotels spend less time handling billing complaints. Customer satisfaction may improve.
Travelers can budget trips accurately when they know the full cost. No unexpected expenses shock customers at checkout. People trust the hotel industry more.
Hotels must upgrade booking websites and systems to show all fees clearly. Small hotels may struggle with these expenses. Businesses pass costs to customers through higher prices.
Hotels cannot use low advertised prices as easily to attract customers. Hiding fees behind the scenes was profitable. Hotels lose a common pricing strategy.
Some fees depend on choices customers make (parking, pets, etc.). Showing all possibilities upfront may confuse people more. Requirements might be hard to apply fairly.
Hotels outside the US may not follow US fee rules. Foreign hotel sites might still show hidden fees. Enforcement across borders is difficult.
