COMCO prohibits anticompetitive contract clauses by hotel booking platforms
Bern, 6.11.2015 - The Competition Commission (COMCO) has closed its investigation against Booking.com, Expedia and HRS. COMCO prohibits the conduct of suppliers of booking platforms to extensively restrict hotels in their own supply policy. The contract conditions, which were recently modified by Booking.com and Expedia, do not fall under said prohibition. However, COMCO reserves the right to eventually a new investigation in this regard, if necessary.
