Hi there,
Yesterday, California's new "honest pricing law" went into effect. The law mandates that all businesses disclose mandatory costs – such as resort fees – upfront in the total price.
For planners, this will impact the pricing of all hotel charges, tickets, and restaurants.
This legislation addresses a notorious pain point for meeting professionals. As meeting professional Mike Ferreira of Meetings Made Easy notes, this upfront clarity is a game-changer for budget management.
However, the new transparency may also bring a bit of sticker shock when comparing rates across different states.
Minnesota is set to implement similar legislation next year, and there is momentum for a similar law to be implemented at the federal level.
Stay tuned as we continue to track these changes and bring you the latest updates on how they impact your planning process.
