Oh I actually have a legitimately good reason for why the company I work for doesn’t list pricing!
I work as a tour guide at a local nature attraction, got a campground as well. It’s a privately owned thing, and a small, sorta hole in the wall place. In the past there’s been big issues of third party websites, usually illegitimate, taking info about our pricing and services and selling tickets/camp lots to customers without our know or say.
Customer shows up after paying the not-us website, complains when we have no record of them nor their payment. They technically never paid us, only a scamming website, so we can’t honor those tickets.
It was a big enough deal that reservations are currently only over the phone or in person. Kinda sucks, but it’s best for everybody involved for now.
I don’t follow how that solves the issue? If anything by removing online purchases from your own website you’re further pushing users to go to the scam site

It says explicitly on the website reservations are done over the phone or in person in the shop.
That doesn’t protect anybody who’s on a scam site though.
How was the affect of this? Was there a quantifiable lower amount of people coming with scam tickets?
