of around 25% to 30% is nothing else other than pure greed,there is no way that wages and running costs would increase anywhere near that amount.
You see new hotels opening and are 2-3 4 star hotels and then the prices increase the following year and then maybe after a couple of years they do some renovations and put the prices up even further,well hello they should be doing ongoing repairs all the time to maintain whatever star rating they have not leaving it and then using the upgrades as an excuse for raising prices.
As time goes by most hotels seem to deteriate through through lack of proper maintenance and they reduce the prices from 4 star t0 3 or even 2 star dont they,yeah pull the other one it is simply greed that some claim is supply and demand, just the same way a newspaper has a circulation of 100,000 and that increases to 150,000 so the newspaper price increase lol.
