Korea’s Fair Trade Commission said on Monday that it imposed corrective measures against 20 deluxe hotels in Seoul for restricting their customers’ options for wedding floral decorations.
The antitrust agency said that such premium luxury hotels forced their customers to buy and use either their in-house flowers or ones provided by their suppliers for wedding decoration.
The measures included allowing consumers from now on to have wider choices such as purchasing other decorative products besides ones offered by the hotels.
The FTC found that consumers had overspent around 20 million won ($15,000) on average for only being allowed to use hotels’ decorative flowers.
