Priceline Group CEO Darren Huston Double the Hotel Bookings

Expedia’s acquisitions versus the Priceline Group’s “competitive moat.” Rock, paper, scissors. It’s an interesting contest and in the $1.4 trillion global travel market, both companies can be winners. Expedia is trending upward and Priceline is showing strong growth, as well.

While Expedia dominated headlines with its more than $6 billion worth of acquisitions in 2015, the Priceline Group needs to win the narrative back and CEO Darren Huston made his case about his company’s competitive advantages.

“Our capabilities and scale in partner acquisition, customer experience, and efficient demand generation plus our large installed base of accommodations and loyal travelers give the Priceline Group a competitive moat that is deep and wide,” Huston said. [For Darren Huston elaboration on these points, see excerpts from the Priceline Group’s fourth quarter earnings call February 17 at the bottom of this post.]

This got further exacerbated in the backdrop of the pandemic, smaller companies with their lower levels of resilience and limited sources for raising financing resulted in positive economic outcomes for larger players. Their already high market shares got a further fillip as suppliers, distributors, financiers, customers all resorted to ‘safer’ and ‘trusted’ brands. Apart from growth, this enhanced market share provided a cushion against lock-downs, lowering demand during the pandemic, says Varun Kapur Yes Bank .
