HOTEL TARIFF CONTROLS
QUALIFICATION FOR EXEMPTION
(New Zealand Press Association)
DUNEDIN, June 5.
A recent meeting between the Price Tribunal and the Auckland Porvincial Private Hotel Proprietors’ Association, has given hotel proprietors in New Zealand a more definite idea of what •is required for hotels to be released from price control of accommodation.
The first indication that some houses are ready to qualify for exemption was given recently by a Price Tribunal representative in Queenstown. A representative of the Queenstown Licensed and Private Hotels’ Association, which argued a case for decontrol last January, said today that at. least three hotels in Queenstown appeared to have a very good chance of being released from price control. Other hotels in Queenstown might also be released.
The three hotels in Queenstown mentioned by the association’s repre-
sentative may be the first in New Zealand to qualify for exemption. It was said that the hotels could charge what they liked, but they must undertake not to increase their tariffs at lesser intervals than six months, unless some major factor affecting the whole industry made a change necessary.
