The Amsterdam-based company dominates the market and has grown in recent years for Online travel agency developed. Booking is now ready for the next big step.

So far, the focus has been on hotel bookings. But the offer is to be expanded significantly in the near future. “We want to offer everything that goes with a trip,” said the boss of the parent company Booking Holdings, Glenn Fogel, of the current issue of “Manager Magazin”. Flight bookings and rental cars have so far not been the focus of the company.

"We are creating a seamless, smooth way to organize trips much easier than before," said Fogel. The Booking.com managing director still sees a negative impact of the pandemic on the travel industry. “There is still a lot of uncertainty and conflicting signals for this year,” he said. However, there is no question for him that people want to travel again soon. "People are so ready to book and go," he said.
