Survey: Hotels Should List Total Prices In Ads |
|
|
|
It’s no surprise to seasoned senior wanderers, but a recent Travelers United poll reports that at least 80% of seniors wanted hotels and resorts to list all charges on final bills to be advertised up front.
Of course, that also applies to everything in the travel industry, where come-on prices are always just the beginning of a long list of piled on extras. Restaurants, cruise ships, airlines. They all do it with local taxes, wi-fi, video, honor bar and everything else. They all result in jacking up a typical advertised price 20 or more percent you pay out of pocket.
