Why Expedia Group?

We provide industry-leading technology solutions to fuel partner growth and success, while facilitating memorable experiences for travelers. Expedia Group’s three flagship consumer brands include: Expedia®, Hotels.com®, and Vrbo®.
Open culture, open world
We're a diverse community, and we share a vision: to create the products, platforms, and experiences the rest of the industry looks to for inspiration. We’re not doing this for its own sake. We’re doing it because it makes a positive difference to every single traveler we serve. Expedia Group is a place where everyone can feel safe and empowered. We’re incredibly proud of the open culture we’ve built, and we’re united behind the belief that travel is a force for good. The experiences we create bridge divides and broaden horizons – making the world a better, more open place.
Our work of driving inclusion at Expedia Group and designing a more equitable workforce would not be possible without our Inclusion Business Groups (IBGs), a subcategory of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs—the commonly used industry term), who are specifically dedicated to systemic inclusion of historically excluded identities. These employee-led groups provide spaces for our employees to connect through lived experiences and cultivate a sense of belonging and, furthermore, their charters guide them to empower their members, collaborate across intersectional identities within their communities, and promote allyship to all employees across the company.
At Expedia Group, there are eight Inclusion Business Groups:
- Latinx Education And Development
- Asian Community at Expedia
- Ability Inclusion Movement, PRIDE (LGBTQIA+)
- Women at Expedia Learning and Leading
- Black Expedia Allied Movement
- Expedia Veterans Friends and Family
- Indigenous Diversity Expedians and Allies
Impact & Sustainability
Expedia Group’s Open World™ global social impact and sustainability strategy is grounded in the pursuit of three pillars – access for underserved travelers, economic advancement for communities underrepresented in the travel industry, and a more prosperous planet for generations to come.
