The Chamber of Deputies analyzes Bill 7337/14 by Mr Vilalba (PP-PE), which prohibits an extra fee the hotel guest to cancel the reservation 72 hours before entry.
The bill provides that, if the booking has been paid in advance, you will be entitled to the refund of the amount within 48 hours after confirmation of the cancellation. The company that violate the rule can be punished in accordance with the Consumer Protection Code (Law 8.078/90).
Today, the collection rate or not depends on the hotel's cancellation policy or agency specified in the contract with the customer. Some stores admit the conversion of book credits for future use.
The deputy, according to the Agency Board, argues that 72 hours is a reasonable time in advance so that we rent the room to another client without the need to charge a fine of whom canceled.

The bill follows conclusive in character and will be analyzed by the Consumer Protection; Tourism; and Constitution, Justice and Citizenship
