Hoteliers hike prices ahead of London 2012 Olympics
21 March 2011A number of hotels in London have been accused by tourism authorities of hiking room rates during next year’s Olympics.
Ahead of London 2012 tickets going on sale this Tuesday, UKinbound, the industry body for overseas tourism to Britain, said the move undermines the hospitality industry’s efforts to avoid tourism “‘price-gouging’â€.
Visit Britain, the government’s tourism agency, said it hoped that hoteliers and other hospitality businesses would sign up to a “f’air pricing and practice charter’†under which they would voluntarily agree to offer fair and reasonable prices between June 1 and September 30 next year.
