Crystal PaineGUEST
It wasn't unsafe.
Crystal PaineGUEST
But we got it through Hotels.com. We got this really great deal on it.
Crystal PaineGUEST
Anyway, so we were able to go to Iceland for... very inexpensive.
Crystal PaineGUEST
But the one thing that I had done my research and they said food was really expensive there.
Mike ArmstrongHOST
Whereas... changing dynamically the price of a handbag or a concert ticket for people that you think are wealthier is not.
Mike ArmstrongHOST
A few examples that she gave in an interview that I listened to recently, she was looking at hotel pricing data from, I think it was Hotels.com or Expedia, and found that people that were searching from an IP address in the San Francisco greater area were paid a much higher price than other people in less wealthy areas of the country.
Mike ArmstrongHOST
So clearly, some of those online marketplaces are looking at where the web traffic is coming from and changing it up.
Mike ArmstrongHOST
She also took a look at a bunch of people putting grocery orders for pickup through Instacart.
Ariane GorinGUEST
Yes.
Ariane GorinGUEST
Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, and a big partnership business, which maybe is less of a household name.
Gstaad GuyHOST
Well, the partnership business actually is awesome.
Gstaad GuyHOST
I know you actually were one of the people to start that for Expedia.
Ariane GorinGUEST
Well, it's really, you know, I like to think we're sort of an ecosystem within the travel ecosystem.
Ariane GorinGUEST
So we have relationships with millions of properties, with hotels, with airlines, with car rental companies.
Ariane GorinGUEST
And we connect them with travelers, whether that's travelers through our own brands, Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, or travelers through our partners.
Ariane GorinGUEST
Because, as I said, we've got a B2B business, which is about a third of the company, where we... power the travel business of other companies.
Ty HildenbrandtHOST
$500.
Ty HildenbrandtHOST
Hotels.com. On us, courtesy of our friends at Newegg.
Ty HildenbrandtHOST
We'll talk about it in a little bit.
Ty HildenbrandtHOST
Maybe you can use it to offset some of the travel costs, right? We talk about the travel all the time.
Olga MaslikhovaHOST
It's all agents.
Olga MaslikhovaHOST
And you have these companies that have been building the brand, like Expedia built a brand, like Hotels.com, like everybody built a brand.
Olga MaslikhovaHOST
But right now an agent is like, look, this is the price, which is the lowest price.
Olga MaslikhovaHOST
And I honestly don't even know from which website it managed to get this information.
Jon DinkinsHOST
I mean, I just think he's kind of weird when he's...
Bryan BarrettHOST
The Hotels.com commercials aren't good to me.
Jon DinkinsHOST
I mean, that part of him I don't like, but I do like his acting.
Bryan BarrettHOST
Independence Day was okay.
Barbara PezziGUEST
And this is where the age comes in.
Barbara PezziGUEST
At some point, a long, long time ago, websites started to appear and Expedia, which was, I think it was, yeah, it was still called Expedia at the time, hotels.com, it was called something else, lastminute.com, they all started emerging.
Barbara PezziGUEST
And I was quite excited by the potential and how this whole new world, all the opportunities that this new world could bring to us.
Barbara PezziGUEST
So I got very much into it from the beginning.

Please welcome Samuel L. Jackson and Stephen Colbert! [audience cheering] Tonight on FOX Sports Net.
Ron SwidlerGUEST
I guess with Meta's new Muse tool, you'll be able to get through some of those barriers now and get onto some of those websites and, and kind of, you know, open claw your, your, uh, personal data with passwords and things to be able to make some of those bookings for you.
Ron SwidlerGUEST
But, um, we are about to move from booking engines like OTAs, online travel agencies, that your, you know, hotels.com, expedia.com, being a great kind of, uh, consolidator and, um, uh, a distribution network to something else.
Ron SwidlerGUEST
And it may be that, um, you know, these AI tools become your travel planners, your two travel agents, if you will, um, that are helping plan this.
Ron SwidlerGUEST
So the amount of word of mouth or influence that we might have over a buy decision, uh, is changing so rapidly that we don't even know yet, um, how it's going to, how it's gonna shape and change.
