Is it legal for hotels to refund commissions to travel agencies?

It is a legal way of business cooperation for hotels to refund commissions to travel agencies.

According to the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), business operators are not allowed to tie in goods against the wishes of buyers or attach other unreasonable conditions.

However, there is no explicit prohibition or restriction on the commission rebate of hotels to travel agencies. Therefore, it is not illegal for hotels to refund commissions to travel agencies.

However, it should be noted that if the hotel restricts the travel agency's right to choose independently by means of commission and rebate, or attaches other unreasonable conditions, such as forcing the travel agency to buy other goods or refusing to sell them to other channels, it may constitute an illegal act against the buyer's wishes.

Therefore, in the process of cooperation, hotels and travel agencies need to abide by relevant laws and regulations and business ethics to ensure that the cooperation between the two sides is fair, legal and reasonable.
