Booking.com parent enters $9.5 million 'junk fee' settlement with Texas

Aug 19 (Reuters) - The parent of Booking.com and other travel websites will pay $9.5 million to settle Texas' lawsuit claiming it deceptively marketed hotel rooms by omitting mandatory fees, enticing consumers with artificially low prices that didn't exist.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said on Tuesday the settlement with Booking Holdings BKNG.O is the largest by a U.S. state related to "junk fee" practices against any hotel or online travel agency.

Booking also operates the websites Priceline.com and Kayak.
