Then the allegation that we are "an illegal ghent hotel boycott against third party hotel distributors" ghent hotel because it has "requirements for posting fare sales that cannot be sold" by others is not true? hotel it is absolutely not true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis ghent hotel and hotel for making it. ghent our agreements contain no boycott against any distributors whatsoever, and in fact affirmatively provide that no hotel airline is precluded from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering ghent any fare through any channel. the department of justice is presently reviewing all agreements, so there will be no question on this point. do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?

our hotel agreements not only contain no provision ghent and hotel barring any airline from making any fare available through any channel, they contain an affirmative non-exclusivity provision that makes it ghent explicit that no airline is prevented from making any fare it chooses available through any channel it chooses. our agreement contains a non-discrimination clause by which those airlines that will receive the indirect discount on the crs booking hotel fee agree in return to make available ghent and hotel on any fare they publish and ghent make available to hotel the general public through any other channel. ghent but that of course does not preclude them from offering any fare through hotel any other channel.
