I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka ʻauhau hou o New York no nā mea kūʻai aku lumi hōkele ma Sept. i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
Eia kekahi, ua ulu wale ko lākou hauʻoli i ka ʻauhau i ka hāʻawi ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale i ke alakaʻi e pili ana i ka hoʻokō ʻana.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Paul Ruden, ka pelekikena kiʻekiʻe o ASTA no nā ʻoihana kānāwai a me nā ʻoihana, i ke alakaʻi ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale "ʻaʻole i piha, ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia a ʻae ʻole."
No ka laʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ruden, "Hōʻike ia i ka poʻe inā kūʻai lākou mai nā mea kūʻai hou aku pono lākou e hoʻopili i kahi māka 15% ma 70% o ka awelika. Loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manaʻo pehea e ʻike ai kahi mākaʻikaʻi huakaʻi? He aha ka lumi maʻamau? ʻAʻohe oʻu manaʻo pehea e hiki ai i nā ʻelele huakaʻi ke hoʻokō i kēlā lula, a ʻo ka hopena e hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia. ʻAʻole kēia he ala e holo ai i ke alahao.
Ua kau inoa ʻia ka ʻauhau hale kūʻai hale hōkele e ka Meia Michael Bloomberg i ka lā 29 Iune ma ke ʻano he hoʻololi i ka ʻauhau noho hōkele o New York. Pono ia i nā mea kūʻai aku o nā lumi hōkele o New York e hoʻokuʻu i kahi ʻauhau e pili ana i ka huina piha i uku ʻia e ka mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano he "kūlana noho," me kekahi mau uku lawelawe a me nā uku.
Wahi a ka ʻōlelo a ka ʻoihana kālā o ke kūlanakauhale no ke kaʻina loiloi no ka ʻauhau, ʻaʻole e hāʻule nā uku lawelawe a me nā uku e pili ana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi lumi hōkele ma lalo o ka mana o ka ʻauhau.
Ua ʻōlelo ka palapala he "uku kōkua kōkua," a i ʻole he uku i uku ʻia i ka wā e hoʻohana ai kekahi i kahi "mea lawelawe ola" e kākau i kahi lumi, he kumu hoʻohālike ia o ka uku lawelawe ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia he kūlana noho. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻia ʻaʻole e manaʻo ʻia ʻo "nā uku pōʻai maʻamau," a i ʻole nā uku no ka noiʻi ʻana i kahi hōkele no ka mea kūʻai aku ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana "themed", ʻaʻole ia e manaʻo ʻia he kūlana o ka noho ʻana.
Ua ho'āʻo pū ka ʻōlelo a ke kūlanakauhale e wehewehe pehea e helu ai ka poʻe paʻi i ka ʻāpana hōkele o ka pūʻolo i ka wā e ʻike ʻia ai ke kumukūʻai o kēlā me kēia ʻāpana: “E kau ʻia ka uku hoʻolimalima ʻauhau ma ka ratio o ke kumukūʻai kūʻai nui o ka lumi hōkele i ke kumukūʻai kūʻai nui. o nā ʻāpana a pau o ka pūʻolo i hoʻonui ʻia me ka hōʻailona holoʻokoʻa no ka pūʻolo."
Wahi a Owen Stone, he waha ʻōlelo o ke keʻena kālā, ua "hoʻokumu ʻia kēlā ʻano hoʻohālike i kahi kumu hoʻohālike maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia no ka huakaʻi mokulele."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rose Hache, he loio huakaʻi he lālā o ka pā ma New York a me Texas, "Manaʻo wau he hewa ʻole ka ʻauhau a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokele ʻia, a ʻaʻohe ala e ʻike mua ai i ka nui maoli o kahi kālepa. ”
Eia kekahi, ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "Manaʻo wau he uhaki ia i nā ʻāpana kalepa a me nā kaʻina hana kūpono, e pāpā ana i ka hoʻokau ʻia ʻana e kahi mokuʻāina o kahi ʻauhau kūʻai extraterritorial. ʻO ka mea i loaʻa iā mākou ʻo New York City ka ʻauhau ʻana i kahi mākaʻikaʻi e noho ana ma Houston, Indianapolis a i Kapalakiko paha no kahi kālepa, ʻo ia ke kālepa interstate.
Ua hōʻike pū nā lunamakaʻāinana o nā mea hoʻokele huakaʻi a me nā mea hoʻolaha ʻē aʻe i ka hopohopo.
"A hiki i kēia manawa, ua ʻohi nui ʻia nā ʻauhau hale noho e nā hōkele i ka manawa i kūʻai ʻia ai nā lumi," wahi a Steve Richer, ka mea kākoʻo no ka lehulehu no ka National Tour Association. “Inā holo kaʻahele ka mea hoʻokele huakaʻi ma Arizona i Kaleponi, ʻohi ʻia nā ʻauhau e nā wahi a lākou e kipa ai. ʻAʻole pono lākou e hoʻi a helu i ka ʻauhau a lākou i uku ai no ka ʻai a lākou i ʻai ai. ʻOhi ka hale ʻaina.
“Ke nānā nei mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka hanana ʻauhau. He ʻāina hou kēlā. A ke hāpai nei i nā nīnau he nui, no nā mea hana a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i kēia manawa [e pili ana i kēia ʻauhau] ka poʻe ma mua. "
ʻAʻole paʻakikī wale nā hui ʻoihana huakaʻi e kamaʻilio i ko lākou mau lālā i ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana i kahi ʻauhau a lākou i maopopo ʻole ai; Ke hopohopo nei nō hoʻi lākou i hiki i ka ʻauhau kūʻai kūʻai o New York ke hoʻoulu i kahi ʻano ʻino.
"He nui nā mea like ʻole o ka poʻe e aʻo ai inā e hoʻomau ana kēia," wahi a Richer. "Inā lilo kēia i ʻano, a laila lilo ia i mea paʻakikī, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomanawanui. Inā lilo ia i mau haneli haneli e waiho i nā ʻauhau ma nā mea like ʻole i ka huakaʻi ...
ʻO ka loio huakaʻi ʻo Mark Pestronk, nāna i kākau i ka kolamu ʻo Travel Weekly's Legal Briefs, ʻaʻole maopopo ke kūlanakauhale i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā markups i ka mea kūʻai aku a i ʻole ke kumu hoʻohālike a me nā kūʻai pūnaewele.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua manaʻolana ʻo ia e hoʻomaka nā ʻoihana pūnaewele nui e uku i ka ʻauhau a laila "loaʻa nā wehewehe a loaʻa nā pane paʻa."
A hiki i kēlā manawa, ʻōlelo ʻo Pestronk, "ʻO ka mea naʻauao wale nō e hana ai, ʻo ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana a hoʻomaka i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka ʻauhau ma kāu uku lawelawe e uhi ana i nā uku hōkeo hōkele. Eia kahi ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo maikaʻi: E noʻonoʻo e hoʻopaʻa i ka uku ʻole no ka hapa o ka hōkele o nā puke.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Stone i nā ʻoihana he nīnau e pili ana inā pono lākou e hoʻopaʻa inoa e hoʻopili i ka ʻoihana kālā o New York.

- Rose Hache, a travel lawyer who is a member of the bar in both New York and Texas, said, “I think that the tax is unfair and it's unadministrable, and that there's no way of knowing in advance the true amount of a transaction.
- “The taxable additional rent would be based on the ratio of the wholesale cost of the hotel room to the wholesale cost of all the components of the package multiplied by the total markup for the package.
- The document said an “agent assist fee,” or a fee paid when someone uses a “live operator” to book a room, was an example of a service fee not considered a condition of occupancy.
