Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin at Skift Global Forum 2024 | Empowering Traveler Choice

Ariane Gorin, CEO of Expedia Group, speaks with Skift Executive Editor Dennis Schaal at Skift Global Forum 2024 in New York on September 19, 2024. Ariane shares insights into Expedia’s strategic initiatives, from tech integration and loyalty programs to Vrbo’s growth and B2B expansion. Key Highlights from “Expedia’s Transformation and Future Outlook”: • Tech Integration: Expedia has unified brands like Hotels.com and Vrbo on one platform, enhancing user experience. The “One Key” loyalty program allows earning and redeeming points across brands, with a global rollout paused outside the US and UK. • Vrbo’s Strategy: Vrbo focuses on privacy by offering host-free rentals. The brand has recently expanded its inventory to include apartments and condos, increasing competition with Airbnb in urban markets. • B2B Growth: Expedia’s B2B segment is rapidly expanding, powering travel services for partners like Chase and Delta, creating new revenue opportunities without competing with its consumer brands. Whether you're interested in travel technology, vacation rentals, or B2B partnerships in the travel industry, this conversation provides valuable insights into Expedia’s evolving strategies and future growth plans.
