The potential #acquisition of Expedia Group by Uber is intuitive and intriguing, but would it ultimately be a strategic misstep for both companies? Uber continues to own a global position in ride-hailing and #mobility platforms. And as one of two major global online travel agencies, Expedia's facilitation of #bookings for flights, hotels, rental cars and other travel-related services seems like an obvious extension to Uber's mobility dominance. While there are some perceived synergies between the two companies, the drawbacks may be even more compelling.

This year, United Airlines claimed an #airline industry first with the launch of its media network, jumping into the commerce media space where online travel brands, hotel groups and ride-hailing companies already play. Expedia Group, Marriott International and Uber have all established media networks in recent years and are earning significant revenue from them. Koddi, which helps some of these companies monetize their on-site traffic through these commerce #media networks, has seen this trend grow in travel in recent years. Considering the prevalence of loyalty programs, the increasingly digital nature of the industry and how good travel brands already are at content creation, the potential for commerce media in the #travel space is massive.

Airbnb has officially launched its co-hosting marketplace with 10,000 co-hosts in 10 countries. The new service enables hosts to hire other hosts to help them manage tasks like creating listings, taking photos, cleaning and communicating with guests. “We’ve found that over 40% of hosts said they would host more than they do currently if they had help,” said Jay Carney, Airbnb’s global head of policy and communications. Some are wondering if this service has the potential to truly shift the power dynamics between property owners and traditional property managers.
