Are the relevant state departments concerned about the price increase of holiday hotels?

1. Does the law explicitly prohibit the price increase of hotel accommodation on holidays?

(a) free pricing in principle, but the price increase must be reasonable.

At present, there is no law directly prohibiting the price increase of holiday hotel accommodation. Accommodation operators such as hotels have the right to raise prices appropriately according to the supply and demand situation, but in principle, the range and extent of price increase must be reasonable, and the starting and ending time of room settlement and the prices of various rooms must be clearly marked in the charging places to ensure "clearly marked prices".

(2) Temporary maximum price can be implemented under special circumstances.

The Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments on Regulating the Market Price of Hotel Rooms make it clear that tourist hot spots and the surrounding areas of large-scale events can implement temporary price-intervention measures such as the maximum price limit on hotel room prices in accordance with the provisions of the Price Law to ensure the basic stability of hotel room prices.

In other words, in a certain period of time, the government may implement temporary intervention measures and impose a maximum price. For example, during the Canton Fair in Guangzhou and during the "Eleventh" and "Spring Festival" in individual tourist cities.
