Lodging 

Lodging includes hotels and alternative accommodations. As a percentage of their total worldwide revenue in Q3 2021, lodging accounted for almost 78%. However, due to the impact on travel demand from the COVID-19 outbreak, stayed room nights declined by 55% in 2020 as compared to a growth of 11% in 2019 and 13% in 2018. 

• Hotel: Expedia generates the majority of its lodging revenue through the facilitation of hotel reservations. They continue to expand the breadth and depth of their global hotel offering. However, they have reduced their scale of business in various geographies based on local market conditions. 
• Alternative Accommodations: With the acquisition of Vrbo (previously HomeAway) in December 2015, Expedia expanded into the alternative accommodations market. Vrbo offers its customers, hosts subscription-based listing or pay-per-booking service models. They even generate revenue from service fees charged for bookings.

On a QoQ basis, this segment has grown by 50%. On a YoY basis, revenue recorded an increase of 87%.

Advertising & Media

This business is principally driven by revenue generated by Trivago, a leading hotel metasearch website, and Expedia Group Media Solutions, which is responsible for generating advertising revenue on global online travel brands. Revenue in this service is generated from click-through fees charged to travel partners for leads sent to their websites. It is recorded once the traveler makes the click-through to the related travel partners’ websites. These are due for payment from advertisers, within 30 days of invoicing. This service recorded a 25% increase in the revenue generated on a QoQ basis. On an annual basis, there was a 115% growth in the revenue. 

Air

Up until 2019, the revenue generated from this service grew with stability each year, with the peak season in Q1 each year.

However, the airline industry was severely impacted by COVID-19. As a result, airlines have been operating with less capacity and passenger traffic has declined significantly. In Q2 2020, the revenue earned by this service type declined substantially due to the cancellation of tickets. However, they recovered in Q3 2020, generating $27 million. On a YoY basis too, they recorded a 22% increase in the revenue. However, the performance was weak on a QoQ basis, with a downfall of 22% in the revenue.
