pricing is emerging in America, eliminating hidden
fees. and presenting all -in costs up front.
Major platforms like Airbnb, Ticketmaster, Booking

the Federal Trade Commission that aims to prohibit
unfair pricing tactics. While this change applies
mainly to live event tickets and short -term
lodging, it enhances competition and aids consumers
in making informed decisions. Clear pricing makes
common sense, supporting better comparison shopping
