ABTA urges members to implement CMA pricing
ABTA is reminding members to peruse its updated note on the Competition and Markets Authority pricing guidance.
It comes as the CMA made it clear that it will take enforcement action if unavoidable fees and charges payable on arrival or departure at hotels, ports or airports are not included in headline prices.
This includes resort fees and local taxes.
ABTA has previously issued notifications and advice to keep members informed on this key issue.
It lays out potentially serious consequences for companies which have not taken appropriate steps.
Paula Macfarlane ABTA Senior Solicitor said: “Although we are aware that many of our members are taking steps to comply with amended CMA pricing, it is extremely important that everyone reviews their pricing structures to ensure they are not in breach.”
“To help members with this process we have published our latest guidance note, which is now available on our website exclusively to ABTA members.”
The note summarises the issue and pulls together ABTA’s news and guidance issued so far.
ABTA says it continues to receive queries from members.
“ABTA remains in contact with the CMA, and we have asked them for clarification over a couple of areas, which we will update when this has been received.”
