Marriott CEO Unfazed by Biden’s Fight Against Resort Fees

Marriott International CEO Anthony Capuano is not fazed by U.S. President Joe Biden’s criticism of resort fees. During the company’s Q4 call on 14FEB, Capuano said that less than 300 of the Marriott's hotels charge resort fees or similar fees. As reported by Travel Weekly, Capuano believes that Marriott’s fees are on “solid ground,” further explaining that Biden’s concern is actually centered on hidden fees. “The manner in which we disclose resort fees or destination fees…gives us comfort that we have the right strategy,” said Capuano.
