On the Internet rages a price battle between Internet sites which sells hotel overnight stays. for example, For one night in hotel Gravensteen in Gent, the prices lie between 85 and 165 Euro for the same standard double room during the same night. That writes Het Nieuwsblad on Sunday.
"The price system for hotel chambers is similar with the system for airplane tickets. explains Hans De Coninck from Test-Aankoop. The larger the offer, the lower the price. And also tour operators compete with each other with deals, which they have closed with the hotels. An operator, who appoints many chambers in a certain hotel, could make the rooms cheaper for the tourists. The consumer group advises consumers to search for the cheapest chamber, but warns that the standard rooms from one site are not necessarily just as qualitative as a more expensive room from another site, even if it concerns the same hotel.

The provincial authorities canceled the Photographic Exhibition "Fenomenale Feminatheek" of Louis PaulBoon. Normally it had to go on summer 2008, but deputy Ludo Helsen said that there was no artistic content.The "Feminatheek" has a content of 22.400 pictures with women posing, it are often just pictures from an old paper that the famous author Boon collected. Helsen finds it ,because of the fact that it's a collection of an author, more appropriate to keep the exhibition in a literary museum instead of a photographic museum. Now they decided to keep the exhibition during the lierary festival "Zogezegd" in Gent, so said curator Anne Provoost last Thursday. She also said she wants to do this exhibition to show the people that prudishness is over these days, and that politics shouldn't draw the line. You can go to the exhibition 4 april 2008.
