Atlanta oo ka mid ah magaalooyinka Mareykanka oo dacwad ku soo oogay shirkadaha safarka ee internetka

Magaalada Atlanta ayaa maxkamada sare ee Georgia ka codsatay ogolaansho si ay u sii wado dabagalka dacwad heersare ah oo sheeganaysa in shirkadaha safarka ee internetka ay si sharci daro ah jeebka ugu shubtaan malaayiin doolar oo ah dakhliga cashuuraha huteelada.

Magaaladu waxay raadinaysaa inay dib uga soo ceshato cashuuraha hudheelka iyo deganaanshaha 17 shirkadood oo boos celis safar oo Internet ah, oo ay ku jiraan Expedia, Travelocity.com, Hotels.com, Priceline.com iyo Orbitz. Laakiin shirkadaha internetka ayaa ku doodaya inaysan ku qasbanayn inay bixiyaan, xitaa haddii ay ahaan lahaayeen, magaaladu waxay ahayd inay maamul ahaan u raacdo cashuuraha ka hor intaanay dacwad gudbin.

Shirkadaha safarka ee khadka tooska ah ayaa lagu soo weeraray Georgia oo dhan - iyo dalka oo dhan - iyadoo magaalooyinku ay raadinayaan inay soo ceshadaan lacagta canshuurta ay sheeganayaan inay xaq u leeyihiin. Canshuurta hoteelka iyo deganaanshaha ee hoteelka Atlanta iyo qolalka motel, tusaale ahaan, waa 7 boqolkiiba. Canshuurta, sida kuwa kale ee dalka oo dhan, waxaa loo sameeyay sharci si ay u abuurto lacag loo isticmaali karo horumarinta dalxiiska.

Garsooraha Maxkamadda Sare ee Degmada Muscogee ayaa dhawaan qabtay dhageysi si uu u go'aamiyo in Expedia ay tahay inay bixiso canshuurta hoteelka iyo deggenaanshaha magaalada Columbus. Garsoore federaali ah oo ku sugan Rome ayaa kormeeraya dacwad raadineysa xaalad-ficil-fasalka isagoo ka wakiil ah magaalooyinka doonaya sheegashooyinka ka dhanka ah 18 shirkadood oo socdaal oo khadka ah.

Horraantii sanadkan, xaakim federaal ah oo ku sugan San Antonio ayaa oggolaaday kiis-ficil heersare ah isagoo ka wakiil ah magaalooyinka Texas inay horay uga sii socdaan shirkadaha safarka ee khadka tooska ah.

Kiisaska ayaa la qaadayaa xilli ay aad iyo aad u badan tahay dad badan oo ballan-qaadkooda hoteellada ku sameynaya online. Bishii Maajo, MONITOR-ka Safarka Madadaalada ee Qaranka ayaa sheegay in dadka safarka ah ee wakhtiga firaaqada ah ay hadda isticmaalaan Internetka si ay u ballansadaan boos celinta safarka 56 boqolkiiba wakhtiga, laga soo bilaabo 19 boqolkiiba 2000.

Isniintii, Maxkamadda Sare ee Georgia waxay dhageysatay doodaha ku saabsan haddii ay tahay inay meesha ka saarto kiiska Atlanta ama ay u oggolaato inay sii socoto dacwadda.

Maxkamadda sare waa in ay go'aamisaa in, ka hor inta aan dacwadda la gudbin March 2006, ay magaaladu qiimeyso inta cashuur ee shirkadaha internetka lagu leeyahay, la siiyo shirkadaha ogeysiis qoraal ah iyo, haddii qaddarka lagu muransan yahay, ay u ogolaato guddiga dib u eegista shatiga magaalada. dhegaysi qaban.

Maxkamada ayaa dib u eegis ku sameyneysa xukun sanadkii hore ay soo saartay maxkamada racfaanka ee gobolka, taasi oo sheegtay in ay aheyd in magaalada ay soo marto nidaamkaas. Haddii loo ogolaado inay istaagto, xukunku wuxuu u noqon doonaa guul aad u faa'iido badan shirkadaha internetka sababtoo ah sharciga xaddidan ee saddexda sano ah ayaa ka mamnuucaya magaalada inay raacdo canshuuraha ay ururiyaan shirkadaha internetka horaantii tobankan sano.

Ilaa hadda, ma jiro garsoore ku sugan Georgia oo go'aamiyay arrinta salka ku haysa xudunta khilaafka: in magaalooyinku ay luminayaan qaddar cayiman oo cashuur ah mar kasta oo hudheel ama qol motel la ballansado oo laga bixiyo shirkadaha ku salaysan Webka.

Marka loo eego dacwadaha maxkamadda, shirkadaha internetka ayaa qandaraas kula jira hudheelo iyo motelooyin tiro ka mid ah qolalka qiimaha "jumladda" laga wada xaajooday. Shirkadaha internetka ayaa go'aamiya calaamadaynta waxayna dejiyaan qiimaha "tafaariiqda" ee macaamilku bixin doono. Shirkadaha onlaynka ah waxay aqbaleen bixinta kaadhka-kreditka ee heerka qolka, oo lagu daray cashuuraha iyo khidmadaha adeegyada. Waxay ku soo celiyaan heerka "jumlo", oo lagu daray canshuurta lagu qiyaasay heerkaas, huteelka.

Ma jiro canshuur hoteel iyo degenaansho lagu bixiyo faraqa u dhexeeya qiimaha jumlada iyo qiimaha tafaariiqda, Bill Norwood, oo ah qareenka magaalada, ayaa yiri Isniintii.

Laakiin Kendrick Smith, oo ah qareenka shirkadaha internetka, ayaa sheegay in maadaama shirkadaha internetka aysan iibsan ama kireyn qolalka hoteelka, aysan ku jirin canshuur.

"Anagu huteelo ma nihin," ayuu yidhi. "Ma qaadi karno canshuur."

Garsoore Robert Benham waxa uu siiyay Smith male-awaal ah shirkad online ah oo macaamiisheeda ku dalacaysa $100 qol, in kasta oo summaddeedu ahayd $50. Heerkee ayaa cashuurta lagu qaadaa? ayuu weydiiyey.

Qiimaha $50 ee ay shirkadda online-ku siisay huteelka, Smith ayaa ku jawaabay. Waxa uu intaa ku daray in qiimaha laga wada xaajooday hoteellada iyo shirkadaha internetka uu yahay mid qarsoodi ah.

Garsoore George Carley ayaa markaa xusay in macaamiisha soo gasha ay bixiyaan dhammaan 7 boqolkiiba canshuurta qiimaha qolalka caadiga ah. Laakiin haddii shirkadaha internetka ay kaliya ku ururinayaan canshuuraha qiimaha jumlada, "magaaladu way kacday," ayuu yidhi.

Smith ayaa maxkamadda u sheegay in haddii ay magaaladu doonayso in ay isku daydo oo ay ururiso cashuurahaas, waa in ay raacdo sharciga oo ay siiso shirkadaha internetka qiyaas inta ay le'eg tahay - yaan la tegin maxkamad ay wakiil ka yihiin qareennada gaarka ah ee "kharash-ka-qabashada".

"Tani waa dacwad ururin [canshuurta]," Smith ayaa ku dooday. "Waxay rabaan lacag badan."

Wareysi telefoon, Art Sackler, oo ah agaasimaha fulinta ee kooxda ganacsiga warshadaha, Interactive Travel Services Association, ayaa sheegay in dacwadda magaaladu ay tahay mid aan faa'iido lahayn. Qaabka ganacsi ee shirkadaha internetka ayaa u wanaagsan macaamiisha sababtoo ah waxay u ogolaataa inay isku daraan qiimaha hoteelada waxayna fududeeyaan dalxiiska, ayuu yidhi.

"Waxay isku dayayaan inay sameeyaan wax dili kara ama dhaawac u geysanaya gooshan dhigay ukunta dahabiga ah," ayuu yiri Sackler.

Laakiin C. Neal Pope, oo ah qareenka magaalada, ayaa sheegay in Atlanta ay u isticmaasho lacagta canshuurta hoteelka si ay u horumariso dalxiiska.

"Magaaladu waxay isticmaali kartaa, dheh, $ 5,000 ee dakhliga canshuurtan si ay u soo dirto koox ka mid ah dadka Atlanta si ay u keenaan dhacdo sida tartanka kubbadda fudud ama riwaayad keeni karta boqolaal ama kumanaan qof magaalada si ay u arkaan, "ayuu yiri Pope. "Marka magaalada laga joojiyo malaayiin doolar dakhligan, markaas waxaad arki kartaa sida ay muhiim u tahay lacagtan dalxiiska."
