About Expedia Group
Expedia Group, founded in 1996 as a Microsoft division, is the other half of the OTA duopoly alongside Booking Holdings, distributing through Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo and its affiliate network. In European independent stacks it is typically the second OTA rather than the first, connected through the same channel manager and carrying a different demand mix — more North American, more package.
Key capabilities
- Global OTA demand
- Multi-brand distribution
- Affiliate network
