Principal Subsidiary Companies: Expedia and its subsidiaries operate travel Web sites in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

Expedia Group is a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: EXPE) and is not owned by a single individual or another parent corporation. Instead, it is owned by a mix of institutional investors and retail shareholders. As of 2026, the largest shareholders are massive asset management firms like The Vanguard Group, BlackRock, and PAR Capital Management. However, the "power player" behind the scenes is Barry Diller, who serves as the Chairman and Senior Executive. Diller and his family hold a significant amount of "Class B" super-voting shares, giving them substantial control over the company's strategic direction. Expedia Group is a high-value "travel titan" that owns several other major brands, including Hotels.com, Vrbo, Orbitz, Traversity, and Wotif. While it was originally founded as a division of Microsoft in 1996, it was spun off as an independent entity in 1999 and has since grown into one of the world's most dominant online travel agencies (OTAs), competing directly with Booking Holdings and Google Travel.
