European hotel association sues Booking.com over price‑parity clause
Based on · First reported
Sources
- The European hotel association initiated a lawsuit against Booking.com in Amsterdam at the beginning of the year, originally involving 3,087 hotels and later expanding to about ten thousand, including 150 Croatian hotel operators.
- The case covers the period from 2004 to 2024 and challenges a price‑parity clause that barred hotels from offering lower rates on their own websites, while Booking.com argues it invests heavily in marketing and seeks to prevent customers from booking directly after viewing on its platform.
