A new study by theAmerican Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA)<\/strong> suggests that nearly one in four American consumers (23%<\/strong>) claims to have been deceived by third-party resellers, either by telephone or online. This scam would represent a substantial sum of money, as it would reach 5.7 billion US dollars<\/strong> in fraudulent transactions in hotel bookings in 2018 alone. A figure up 9.6% on the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chip Rogers<\/strong>President and General Secretary of AHLA, \" The figures from this study are totally unacceptable. Consumers are robbed of billions of dollars every year by swindling companies. <\/em>\"he says. AHLA is the only national association in the United States representing all segments of the hotel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
