Let’s work together to solve travelers’ complex problems and deliver best-in-class experiences that drive your business forward.

Harness the power of MCP servers

Managing a travel business is complex: reconciling bookings, analyzing performance data, managing inventory, and integrating multiple systems. But it doesn’t have to be that way. AI agents powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP) can streamline these operations, giving you more time to focus on growth.

We’re building MCP capabilities that work seamlessly with our APIs, enabling AI agents to access our travel data and services through a standardized interface. This means you can automate routine business tasks and get intelligent assistance with complex workflows. We want to offer:

Streamlined API access: Connect AI agents to our travel services without building custom integrations for every endpoint or managing complex authentication flows.
Intelligent automation: Set AI agents to handle routine tasks and free up your team to do higher-value work.
Faster development: Move from concept to working implementation significantly faster, accelerating your ability to deploy AI assistance across your operations.

We’re in the exploration phase of what AI agents can do for travel businesses, and that’s exactly why we want you involved. Share your operational challenges, your biggest pain points, and your boldest ideas. Together, we’ll explore what’s possible and build what matters most.

Customize an AI assistant

For travelers, planning trips can be overwhelming, with endless options, complex pricing, and difficult tradeoffs. An AI agent can change that, making the experience simpler and more intuitive. We envision a customizable “starter” AI assistant that you can tailor to your business. This assistant will be able to help with travel planning through natural conversation, and it will work either directly with your customers or as a tool to enhance your agents’ capabilities.

We’re planning to leverage the power of our APIs to offer:

Conversational travel planning: We'll enable natural requests like “Find 3-star hotels in Paris under $200 per night for May 10-15” or “Show me beachfront vacation rentals in Maui with at least 3 bedrooms for a family of 6” to help anyone navigate choices through simple conversation.
Flexible deployment: You can use your AI assistant as a traveler-facing tool to allow self-service planning, or you can give it to your agents so that they can book travel more efficiently and handle complex requests with ease.
Customization that fits your niche: You can adapt the assistant to your business, whether you specialize in luxury travel, corporate bookings, vacation rentals, or niche destinations.

We know your business is unique, and we want your input to ensure this AI assistant addresses what matters to you.

Imagine the future of travel with AI

For 25 years, Expedia has helped the world book travel, but the truth is that people don’t dream about bookings, they dream about moments: the first glimpse of the skyline, the laughter over dinner, the stories that follow them home. That’s what AI should power, and it’s what we’re working toward.

We want to create AI experiences that turn those dreams into reality, faster and more intuitively than ever before. For example:

A traveler describes their perfect vacation: a week in Southern California, a family SUV, a mix of wine tours and kids’ adventures. The AI assistant understands their intent, filters through countless options, and presents the right hotel, the perfect car, and activities that delight everyone in the group.
A couple on a strict budget still wants an unforgettable honeymoon: They describe what they can afford, and the assistant finds a beautiful all-inclusive trip with airfare, hotel, and the perfect pool.
A solo traveler wants to confidently visit a specific city: They talk through what they want to see and do, and the AI agent helps them explore safety-rated neighborhoods and curated activities that will match their interests and comfort level.

This is the future we’re building, where AI makes travel more accessible, planning less overwhelming, and business operations more efficient. We’re actively developing these capabilities, and your insights will shape what we create.
