Expedia CEO on the move

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

Expedia CEO on the move

Post by Ele »

It seems Dara Khosrowshahi is moving to Uber. Fingers crossed for positive change at HomeAway (anyone know where to submit the CV?) :wink:

Don't hold your breath. Expedia still have to recoup their $3.9 billion buyout of HA/OD in 2015.

Not so sure that will be so - I would imagine taking more and more money from their 'inventory', aka, the poor cab driver. Or do you think, there will now be something akin to a booking fee?

I might be mistaken as do not know the facts but if they bought HA/OD for $3.9bn they do not have to 'recoup' that much money but have to see a 'return' on it.

Maybe. But Dara will do what Dara does i.e milk it for all it's worth from both ends. Gotta justify that mega salary somehow.
