This aligns with the President&#8217;s plea to eliminate these &#8220;extraneous charges&#8221; prevalent in numerous sectors.  Lawmakers contend that concealed charges hinder travelers from effectively comparing costs and comprehending the actual financial burden of their accommodations. <\/p>\n<p>This legislation aims to tackle those hidden &#8220;amenity charges&#8221; that appear on lodging invoices, impacting not just hotels.  Travel booking platforms like Expedia and price comparison websites would also be required to clearly disclose these costs. Essentially, any online service offering accommodations for a night, a few hours, or even a week, would need to comply with the updated regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The gaming sector has expressed some apprehension, however. They are concerned that the legislation, due to its broad language, might inadvertently affect some of their offerings.<\/p>\n<p>These amenity charges have been a source of frustration for consumers for years, with complaints dating back to at least 2016! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cross-party coalition of lawmakers is advocating for a law to compel lodging establishments to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v22.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sneaky Hotel Fees? \ud83d\ude20 Lawmakers Demand Transparency!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tired of hidden\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Shining a Light on Hidden Hotel Fees: Lawmakers Push for Transparency in Amenity Charges\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Tired of hidden\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Unlock Your Winning Potential | Licensed Online Casino Games\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-06-19T00:17:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-20T14:02:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Elizabeth &quot;Elixir&quot; Cox\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Elizabeth &quot;Elixir&quot; Cox\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/\",\"name\":\"Sneaky Hotel Fees? \ud83d\ude20 Lawmakers Demand Transparency!\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-06-19T00:17:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-20T14:02:11+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/#\/schema\/person\/7b1431b1a63d27e76162fcf5e76bb527\"},\"description\":\"Tired of hidden\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/2024\/06\/19\/shining-a-light-on-hidden-hotel-fees-lawmakers-push-for-transparency-in-amenity-charges\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Homepage\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Shining a Light on Hidden Hotel Fees: Lawmakers Push for Transparency in Amenity Charges\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/7bitcasinobonuscode.icu\/\",\"name\":\"Unlock Your Winning Potential | Licensed Online Casino Games\",\"description\":\"Indulge in the excitement of licensed online gambling with the help of our regularly updated news, comprehensive reviews, and expert articles.
