Expedia, Inc.
In 1996, a small division within Microsoft launched online travel booking site Expedia.com®, which gave consumers a revolutionary new way to research and book travel. Three years later, Expedia was spun out of Microsoft, becoming a publicly traded company on NASDAQ under the symbol EXPE. Meanwhile, the other brands in the current day Expedia, Inc. portfolio were independently established and began their respective courses of development.
In the first few years of the new millennium, Expedia® became – and remains – the world’s leading online travel company. By 2001, it had acquired a number of other travel companies and in 2002 InterActiveCorp (IAC) acquired a controlling interest in Expedia. Expedia grew within IAC, and its synergies with its parent company’s other travel holdings became more and more salient. In 2005, IAC spun out its travel businesses under the name Expedia, Inc. Today Expedia, Inc. is the parent company to a global portfolio of leading consumer brands.
