After the popular Korean girl group BLACKPINK, Mayday, Zhang Huimei and other famous artists performed in Kaohsiung, the British rock group Coldplay (Coldplay) announced that it will be in Kaohsiung in November. I am afraid that the hotel industry will take the opportunity to drive up housing prices. Kaohsiung City The Tourism Bureau launched a surprise inspection on Wednesday (17th) and found that two operators were suspected of exceeding the price for inspection, and they will be fined 10,000 to 50,000 yuan according to law.
The British rock group Coldplay announced that it will hold a concert in Kaohsiung on November 11th and 12th. Once the 100,000 tickets went on sale, they were sold out within 6 minutes. In order to prevent unscrupulous operators from taking advantage of large-scale events to drive up prices, the Kaohsiung City Tourism Bureau conducted a surprise inspection on 17 hotels on Wednesday (17th), and seized two hotels under the “City Business Hotel”, Boai Hotel and Zhenai Hotel, which violated the management rules of the hotel industry.
The Bureau of Tourism stated that the price of City Business Hotel Delizhuang Boai Pavilion was 7,000 yuan per night, and the overcharge was 1,384 yuan, an increase of 19.8%. 8,000 yuan, 9,500 yuan overcharge, an increase of 112%, and a fine of 50,000 yuan according to law, with a total fine of 60,000 yuan.
In this regard, the Tourism Bureau appeals to the demand for hotel accommodation during the holiday season, and the operators should not maliciously drive up the price. At the same time, it reminds the public that before booking a room, you can use “Taiwan Travel Network” or “Tourism Bureau” to check whether it is a legal hotel industry, and Whether the pricing is reasonable so as not to be taken advantage of.
