Context is everything. Whilst what you say is true, that element of the contract indemnifying Marriott for LNF claims only applies to “dynamic packages” utilising “unpublished rates” where the contract stipulates that the package must be sold as a whole (ie flights and hotel; hotel and tours; hotel and car hire) where the price of the hotel room portion must “at no time be visible, apparent or known” to the end-customer.
So yes, in that restricted unpacked “package holiday” situation the TA could end up on the hook for LNF claims but I’ve never made a claim by stripping down a package, I doubt many here have. This doesn’t prove that OTAs are on the hook for the costs of all successful LNF/BRG claims, very, very far from it...
