Travelodge in hot water over security, fake reviews, and consumer scrutiny as UK hotels face levies and relief debates. One chain, many worries.
The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has launched investigations into five companies, including Just Eat, Autotrader, Feefo, Dignity, and Pasta Evangelists, over concerns they may have violated consumer laws related to online reviews. The probes follow new laws banning fake, incentivized, and hidden negative reviews, with potential fines up to 10% of global sales.
