Slater Vecchio LLP is investigating allegations that several hotel chains in Canada engage in “price dripping” and “double ticketing” in violation of Canada’s Competition Act by failing to represent the full price of their accommodations at the outset of the purchasing process.
It is alleged that certain hotels in Canada omit the “Destination Marketing Fee” in the initial representation of their accommodations, and instead add this fee to the cost of the accommodations later in the purchasing process. Destination Marketing Fees are charges that hotels generally collect and remit to tourism organizations.
“Price dripping” is a practice in which companies add a charge or fee to the initial price representation of a product later in the purchasing process. These charges or fees often include service fees, process fees, or improvement fees.
“Double ticketing” occurs when a company represents two different prices for the same product and charges the greater of the two prices.
If you stayed at a hotel in British Columbia and were charged a Destination Marketing Fee that is shown on your receipt, please get in touch with Slater Vecchio LLP through this link: https://www.slatervecchio.com/class-action/hotel-destination-marketing-fee-price-dripping-class-action/
