    How Taiwan’s “Hotel Registered Price Ceiling” System Actually Works

    Hotels themselves propose the registered maximum price when submitting pricing for record. The local authority reviews the submission for formality and compliance, but does not set or “approve” an arbitrary cap based on economic fairness. Authorities may reject filings for procedural issues, but they do not set price levels based on “market fairness.”
