Travel experts are expecting a surge in people booking trips this summer and in the following years.
The phenomenon is being coined as revenge travel.
The idea around revenge travel is rooted in people getting revenge against COVID-19 and the power it has had over their lives. People were forced to cancel all their trips in 2020 and were confined to their homes for much of the pandemic.
My key takeaways from this past week’s Expedia call are below:
Highlights from the recently announced sale of Expedia’s corporate travel platform, Egencia, to Amex GBT include (i) Expedia eventually owning approximately 14 percent of the combined businesses post-closing – which Expedia assumes will be worth $700 million and (ii) the deal comprising a long-term supply agreement between Expedia Partner Services (EPS) and Amex GBT, which according to Expedia CEO, Peter Kern, underscores EPS’ continuing efforts to position itself as a B2B business platform and allow Expedia to focus on its core B2C and B2B businesses.
Over the past quarter, Expedia has shifted its perspective on marketing – moving from an initial bias against large marketing commitments early in the quarter to now making major investments in an attempt to get out ahead of the anticipated wave of travel demand. Expedia, Orbitz and Vrbo are the initial beneficiaries of this new marketing commitment.
