TuoiTreNews.vn - When their rooms have been fully booked during the ongoing days-long holiday, the response of eight hotels in Vietnam’s heavily touristed town of Sa Pa was exceptional. The facilities, all classified as three-star hotels, quoted their room rates on popular online hotel service websites agoda.com and booking.com at dozens of millions of dong per night only to “discourage booking,” they told local authorities after receiving fines for the sky-high price quotes. The highest price to spend a night at one of these hotels is reportedly VND46 million (US$2,144), while the average rate is well above VND10 million ($466).
