Our take
Booking Holdings is the world’s leading provider of online travel & related services, operating in more than 220 countries. They are the parent company of Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, Rentalcars.com, KAYAK, and OpenTable.
The company is consistently strengthening its subsidiary companies by expanding its service portfolios, for example, Priceline has partnered with Musement (the leading tours and activities company) enhancing travelers’ vacation experiences by allowing customers to book activities and excursions.
Booking Holdings has also opened a new tech center as it works to deepen its finance systems and software development to enable collaboration across fintech and other key functions across its brands.
While the travel market is highly competitive, with other online travel agencies like TripAdvisor, Expedia, and AirBNB making strong efforts to expand their presence, Booking Holdings is a powerhouse leader in the market and is well-positioned to continue capitalizing on the booming travel market.
