Busan city to launch campaign to prevent hotels from price gouging ahead of BTS concert
Busan Metropolitan City will collaborate with Yanolja, an online booking company, to promote a fair trade campaign ahead of the free BTS concert to be held in Busan, the city government said Thursday.
BTS’s concert in Busan is a part of the city’s bid to host the 2030 World Expo.
The campaign is to prevent extreme price-gouging, as accommodation facilities have been canceling reservations and raising prices, according to BTS fans online.
Around 670 accommodation facilities in Busan city partnered with Yanolja will be asked to join in. The Busan city government plans to dispatch inspection teams to hotels until BTS’s concert is held on Oct. 15.
