"Hotel service charge admission to the wedding, some costs are passed on to the new body, making an already auspicious wedding services, was artificially cast a shadow." Recently, to a "wedding grand coalition" User posted at the local site, called Wuxi wedding agencies join forces against illegal hotel wedding admission charge.
Slotting allowances or consumer injuries
Repeated requests not to disclose the real name of the premise, Xicheng, a wedding service charge Mbayu revealed to reporters the wedding market for many years the unspoken rules. First, the wedding couple requested access to the company by a hotel restaurant for their wedding, to the restaurant to pay anywhere from several hundred dollars, as many as several thousand dollars in admission fees. "Slotting allowances in different grades according to the hotel, hot hotel market in a two to three thousand dollars, and more, and five thousand dollars. Some hotels in the new engagement party directly if not specified when the wedding company, must pay into the Field fee, while others are secretly charged to the wedding company, will ultimately be passed on to consumers. "Mbayu that some star hotels that host weddings there are a considerable profit, simply set up their own wedding company in this new hotel wedding, your wedding can only ask the hotel company. As a result, other companies can not enter the wedding hotel.
Hotel has a "relationship between the families"
It is understood that some-star hotel to ask for tens of thousands of wedding service companies to a few million, then its monopoly contract signed and pledged to hold the wedding at the hotel where the wedding service all customers the company a monopoly by the wedding, if the consumer who to elect for its services other wedding, the hotel will have to force consumers to receive several hundred to several thousand dollars of slotting allowance.
"I worked with a number of star hotels in Wuxi hotel contract negotiations approaching wedding services, but the results have been a huge scare the slotting allowance." Mbayu said, the city center a five-star hotel will open mouth 40 million a year ! Later, he was the friend of the hotel find out that this 40 million is only used to scare off the wedding like him company, "Since the opening of this hotel will have a designated co-operation of the wedding company, because the hotel food and beverage director closely related to their much lower slotting allowance. "
Mbayu said 40 million of the stock market is not the highest in the industry, even so, there are many wedding companies rushed inside to find ways, as this cake is so tempting. "October is the peak wedding last month, a suburban five-star hotel in Wuxi company actually made the wedding more than 30 single-business turnover of up to 50 million!" Mbayu, the wedding industry as high as 60% -70% of the profits will not be longer a secret. In so doing, even if the re-slotting allowance would still be high to ensure high returns.
The hotel said that management fees received
Interview, the number of hotels are responsible people do not want to talk about slotting allowance. Some claim that the company has never designated the wedding, but would recommend some familiar company, because a long time cooperation, a better understanding of them, even if the problem can also find them later. "Some companies only two or three small wedding dress is troupes, something not even a drag strip also ask us through. Still in the background of our stage random screw disorder installed, the tiles have been ruined, the circuit also overload of a power cut. "said a hotel catering manager, hotel slotting allowance is not charged, but the management fees and utilities, it is understood to specify wedding companies and hotels of the" cooperation "are usually two, one is by the wedding company "buy" the hotel stage, the right to use the red carpet and into the hotel under the wedding fees,; the other is paid directly to the hotel fixed annual rent, the cost can be as high as several hundred thousand dollars.
Called administrative intervention
The hotel to say, some wedding companies are not recognized. They believe that the hotel to use its monopolistic position of the seller to restrict consumer choice, the implementation of forced trading is to increase the burden on consumers behavior. Slotting allowance as charged corkage charge, is the hotel side of the terms of Overlord. Hotels in the provision of food at the same time, is supposed to be providing a venue and the corresponding personnel. Therefore, the practice of this admission fee, equivalent to double charge to consumers. In addition, consumers signed an agreement with the hotel when the hotel is not to inform consumers regarding the admission fee, but many hotels also require the company can not tell consumers wedding Admission things, many consumers are to the later just know that this alleged violation of the "Consumer Protection Law", deprived of the right of consumers aware of. King of Wuxi City, the Secretary-General Association of marriage does not deny the fact that slotting allowances for years, "only a civil society association in our industry, we have reported this issue to the relevant government departments, but also communicated and Restaurant Association. But want to solve the problem very difficult. "In this regard, the industry calls, you really want to ease the contradiction between the need to intervene in the relevant government departments, through the development of standards for management fees, etc. organized.
