So is the EU trying to make it where booking has to match the lowest price on the hotel website? Sounds like making the hotels compete with each other instead of letting an agency meddle in who gets what share.
Yep, EU are preventing price fixing. He’s trying to present it as good for HIS customers. Competition is better for all customers.
Booking tries to be the place you shop around. However, they control the market instead. Ow a cheaper vonpetitior can still attract hotels and not be more expensive for consumers.
Yeah that’s what I thought it looked like.
Thanks for the clarification.
Kinda like when Google stopped trying to find the place your answer was and direct you to it, and now tries to bring your answer to Google so that you don’t leave their environment and share profits with the people who actually did the work.
