Dutch Booking Sites Are Registered

With European Authorities

The Dutch Competition Authority (NMa) has received no mention of Koninklijke Horeca Netherlands (KHN) over the practice of booking sites. KHN showed earlier this week that the multiple booking sites have registered with Dutch and European competition authorities.

A press officer of the NMa had Friday morning knowing that no mention is made concerning booking sites. KHN spokesman Anthony van der Klis reported Monday that notification has been made to the competition authorities.

This creates great uncertainty about conditions around booking sites. KHN believes that the sites have much power and abuse by them. The association does not want to reveal which sites it is.

Booking Sites let you know just very accommodating to have gone with cancellations due to Icelandic ash cloud. Posting Expert Patrick Landman of Xotels.com calls the struggle KHN against booking sites a rearguard action. Also innovative bar owner Ronald van den Hoff of Seats2Meet.com previously showed a similar sound.

The sector board of KHN Hotels believes that only hotelier choice may do so if there 'no show' charges are charged or not. Guests have the opportunity to insure against cancellation but a hotelier who has no option, set KHN.
