GVH slaps Booking.com with its largest-ever fine
The Hungarian Competition Authority (GVH) has imposed its largest-ever fine in a follow-up investigation for failure to comply with obligations to cease previous infringements. Booking.com, one of the world's largest online accommodation booking platforms, persisted in unlawful communication practices and disseminating urgent information that could psychologically influence consumers. As a consequence of this behaviour, GVH fined the company nearly 400 million HUF in this follow-up investigation.
