The Expedia group has announced a new partnership with Marriott International that integrates Expedia’s technology with Marriott’s own packaging platform “Vacations by Marriott” on Marriott.com in the United States.
Is this type of partnership something we can expect to see in Australia?
“We believe there is considerable untapped opportunity between our two companies to drive value to hotel owners and travellers alike by strengthening our Vacations by Marriott’s offering,” said Arne M. Sorenson, CEO of Marriott International, talking about the US deal. “We are thrilled to launch this new product with Expedia’s technology, and to explore new areas of partnership beyond our existing distribution relationship.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of the Expedia group, said: “We’re excited about the Marriott collaboration, which is born out of our test and learn philosophy, and is testament to the strength of our partnership.”
