Booking.com is under investigation by the European Commission for failing to adequately protect tourists from online fraud. The inquiry focuses on fake property listings, fraudulent payment requests, and undisclosed paid promotions. If violations of EU law are confirmed, the company could face fines of up to 6% of its global annual revenue. The investigation was prompted by a preliminary assessment of risk reports submitted by Booking.com over the past four years. Authorities are examining how the platform verifies accommodation offers and prevents the misuse of tourist data. Additionally, the investigation looks into how paid promotions are displayed in search results, ensuring transparency for users.
