Expedia.com debuts on the web in 1996 as one of the first online travel agencies Microsoft Expedia Travel Services. The journey to turn the screen around from the travel agent into the hands of the traveler begins.
A union between ‘Exploration’ and ‘speed’, the name ‘Expedia’ is born, and soon becomes synonymous with the new world of online travel. They go public in 1999 in the heat of the dot-com boom and continue to grow through the early 2000s, acquiring Travelscape in 2000 and launching a corporate travel arm in 2002.
In 2003, IAC, Interactive Corp., a leading Internet, and media company led by Barry Diller, invests in the travel space. During this time, IAC acquired Expedia.com, Hotwire, Hotels.com, Egencia Corporate Travel, and Tripadvisor with an investment by eLong.
During these early years Expedia, Inc. begins to grow its portfolio and presence. After the successful IPO, the company is added to the S&P 500. New lines of businesses including activities and technology solutions such as Media Solutions and Partner Solutions are born.
The company stands out as a forerunner in the industry, building innovative offerings that leverage technology to connect partners to travelers in new, meaningful ways. The brand portfolio also continues to grow with the acquisition of CruiseShip Centers, CarRentals.com, and European-based Venere.com.
In 2011, the focus on the Asia Pacific region builds with joint ventures and expanded partnerships with Air Aisa, Tencent, and eLong. In 2012, the company continues to grow in Europe with Via Egencia and spins off Tripadvisor to the public market.
In 2018, Expedia, Inc becomes Expedia Group – recognizing the 20+ year journey to a vast two-sided platform, home to a multitude of travel brands and technology solutions.
The focus of the company turns towards working better together, bringing brilliant minds across countries, teams, and brands together, and turning away from siloed work. The pandemic changes the world, but it also rallies Expedians like never before. We act fast, launching recovery initiatives designed to support the business, our partners, destinations, and industry.
Travel is a force for good, and we are a force for travel. At Expedia Group we believe travel can bring good into the world, and so our mission is to power global travel for everyone, everywhere.
