The Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association (CHTA), representing 32 national hotel and tourism associations and the accommodation providers within those destinations across the region, today reaffirmed its opposition to Booking.com’s policy of calculating commissions on government-imposed taxes, including VAT and GST. CHTA has advocated on the issue since May, and recent notifications to hotels in Jamaica and Antigua & Barbuda have intensified its concerns. The policy adds to distribution costs across the Caribbean hospitality sector, placing particular pressure on independent properties operating on narrow margins.
