In Europe at least, similar practice in other industries (e.g. airline fees) have been made illegal on the basis that a company shouldn't be advertising fees hidden purely for the reason of creating a misleading impression to the consumer (e.g. in price comparisons). I hope that the European Commission looks at destination fees soon before they make it across the Atlantic.
