Instructors in Massachusetts using waves from Hurricane Erin to teach surfing and staying safe
With Hurricane Erin lurking in the ocean, her impact is beginning to be felt in Massachusetts even if the storm isn't expected to get close to the state. The hurricane is creating high surf and riptide warnings at local beaches. At Nantasket Beach in Hull, the water is open for play, but not without risk. There are multiple lifeguards on duty, and DCR rangers have been seen combing the beaches to make sure people are safe. "This is why we aren't having camp tomorrow with the winds, possibly the surf picking up," said Grace Grosso, a surfing instructor teaching young children at Nantasket, "Rip current risks are higher tomorrow"." She says most people panic when they are swept up in a rip current, but her advice is to remain calm and don't fight it. "We teach the kids to let the rip take you out, and once it spits you out deeper into the ocean, swim parallel with the beach," explained Grosso. "You don't want to fight a rip current, you don't want to try and swim against it. You don't want someone to come out and try and save you." The area can be a destination spot for vacationgoers like Mark Grimley. He and his wife came here this week for their anniversary, but it hasn't gone exactly as planned. "When we did come down, we expected the winds, but it's going to get worse tomorrow. I even mentioned to her maybe tomorrow it's supposed to be a little bit sunnier, I'll probably go up to my kneecaps if that," said Grimley, adding that at least the beaches aren't crowded, "It's about 3 miles long, and there's maybe only about half a dozen people from here to the end." In nearby Scituate, the town is asking people to stay out of the water altogether. They only have one beach, Peggotty Beach, that has lifeguards on duty. Parents like Katie Byrne are heeding all of the warnings. She has her young son staying out of the waters at Nantasket. "I think [the waves] are bigger than normal. I come down a couple of times a Summer," said Byrne, "We're just playing up by the sand today."

Booking Holdings agrees to $9.5M settlement of Texas junk-fee lawsuit
Booking Holdings has reached a $9.5 million settlement with the state of Texas over a lawsuit alleging the company engaged in deceptive "junk fee" practices, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced. The lawsuit alleged that Booking Holdings -- operator of Priceline and Kayak -- drew in customers with "artificially low room rates that were not actually available" by grouping hotel fees in with taxes and fees that were not displayed until checkout, giving it an advantage over companies that included those fees in initial room price. Per the settlement, Booking has agreed to display any such fees upfront, according to Paxton. In a statement, a Booking Holdings spokesperson said the settlement did not include an admission of wrongdoing and was reached to avoid prolonged litigation. "Booking Holdings has long supported a clear national standard for displaying total prices, and we remain committed to transparency and providing travelers with accurate information," said the statement. "While resort fees are typically set and retained by hotel partners, we are aligned with recent Federal Trade Commission efforts to bring greater consistency to price displays." Former Federal Trade Commission director Tony DiResta, who now chairs the consumer-protection defense and compliance team for law firm Holland & Knight, said he expects to see an increase in such settlements in the coming years. "The issue of hidden fees or misleading pricing is absolutely on the front burner for state AGs," he said in a statement provided to BTN. "This is a popular issue in both blue and red states, and it continues to be a focus at the FTC." Paxton said the settlement is the largest amount received by a state from a hotel or online travel agency related to junk fee practices. He said he previously had reached agreements on fee transparency with Marriott, Omni, Choice Hotels and Hilton. Source: Business Travel News
