Our take
Booking.com has established itself as a leading digital travel company. The company reaps the benefits of its status in the market and is currently in a stronger position than its up-and-coming competitors such as Expedia, Trivago and Trip.com. Airbnb represents the sharing economy and acts as a disruptive force in this market but still has ways to go to compete with Booking.com.
In recent years, there has been considerable growth in the number of travellers wishing to travel more sustainably. Booking.com is well positioned to attract these consumers, having introduced a Travel Sustainable badge on their platform which over 100,000 properties have achieved for their sustainability efforts.
The company was originally founded with a core focus on hotels, and the platform now offers more than 28 million accommodation listings. They have also expanded into different services, including flights, car rentals, and attractions.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Booking.com
- We’re committed to fostering a more inclusive Booking.com experience for the millions of travellers, partners and communities around the world who use our platform every day. This ongoing journey starts with our very own employees, who represent over 140 nationalities and a wide range of ethnic and social backgrounds, genders and sexual orientations
- Directly linked to our mission to make it easier for everyone to experience the world, Inclusion, Diversity, Belonging and Wellbeing (IDBW) have been a core part of our company culture since day one. Creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and able to do their best work is no easy job. It’s one that evolves over time and will never officially be ‘done’. But that’s ok, because it’s both highly rewarding and vitally important.
- Our ambition is to achieve gender parity (45-55%) in all units and at all levels of our organisation
- To give back to the places that have given us so much, we created Booking Cares – an employee volunteer programme that empowers our workforce to drive inclusion, wellbeing, and sustainability via volunteering, donations, and more – all during working hours. Since the programme began in 2014, over 172,000 work hours have been donated, by almost 6,000 employees, across more than 2,100 projects worldwide.
- B.Champion is our learning and development program for women who want to prepare for the next step in their career. During the six-month program, participants are grouped together in a supportive community cohort, are paired with a senior-level mentor from Booking.com and follow a structured personal development program.
- Every year we celebrate the achievements of inspiring colleagues at Booking.com and give them a platform for recognition: the Playmaker & Inclusionist Awards. The awards seek to recognize colleagues who empower and inspire others and who have done much to promote the mission of Inclusion, Diversity, Belonging, and Wellbeing.
- Booking.com was recently ranked #3 in the Financial Times’ 2021 Diversity Leaders list of European employers, and we couldn’t be more proud. It’s a great recognition for our colleagues around the world, who effortlessly work to create a welcoming and open environment in which people can connect and learn from each other.
- Driven by our employees with the support of the Booking.com IDBW team, our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a driving force in creating the most open, welcoming and empowering work environment possible. Backed by members and allies, our ERGs not only foster inclusion, but drive our business goals and product evolution as well.
