Explore AI with Expedia

Be a part of the evolution of travel with AI.

Expedia is pioneering the future of travel commerce with artificial intelligence (AI), and we’d love our partners to help us define what that future might look like. You already trust us with your travel business, so help us make travel more accessible with AI. We have high technical standards, and we want to help you make AI work for you intelligently and at speed.

The travel industry is global, dynamic, and evolving fast. We believe the future of B2B travel AI is only limited by imagination. Together, we can solve travelers' problems in a way that lends itself to best-in-class experiences that also serve your business.

We are becoming AI specialists in travel, and we want you to come along.

Harness the power of MCP servers

It’s common knowledge that travel involves complexity: where to go, when, how much it’ll cost, and what to do once you get there. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

We’re working with Model Context Protocol (MCP), which allows AI agents to communicate in a standard way with external systems. We can see it becoming the backbone of your customer experience, assisting with workflow tasks like reconciling invoices, reviewing analytics, or integrating an API. We want to use MCP to connect you to our API products with:

Easy integration: A ready-made integration layer means you don’t need to build every API endpoint or set up every authentication flow.
Flexible interpretation: Structured travel context that acts based on the traveler’s intent by filtering the options and helping make choices without overwhelming them with data.
Quick prototyping: Speed from idea to working prototype in hours, not weeks.

We’re exploring which tasks AI can take over to give you time to deliver value. Do you have an idea that you want AI to help with? Let’s imagine it together.

Customize a starter AI assistant

We know that your business needs are unique, so we are looking for your support to create an out-of-the-box implementation that includes basic search and filtering and a professionally designed interface for travelers to interact with. Our plan is to help you lean into your niche by helping you customize that starter AI agent for the tasks your business requires. Meet travelers where they are and help them get where they’re going.

We want to leverage the power of our APIs to offer:

Prebuilt workflows for core travel tasks such as destination search, hotel or vacation rental filtering, and availability checks.
Customization possibilities to support both the traveler experience and your business needs
Conversational requests that anyone (technical or non-technical) can use. Say things like: “Find 3-star hotels in Paris under $200 per night for May 10-15”, or “Show me car rental options with GPS near the Taipei airport”, or even “Show blackout dates and revenue trends for our top 5 destinations this quarter”.

Imagine a future 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’re dreaming of the kind of AI experience that quickly and easily helps make dreams into reality:

A traveler describes their perfect vacation: a week in Southern California, a family SUV, a mix of wine tours and kids’ adventures. And just like that, the trip appears, with the right hotel, the perfect car, and activities that delight every traveler in the group.
A couple on a strict budget still wants a honeymoon that they’ll remember for years to come. They describe what they can afford, and they’re offered a beautiful all-inclusive trip with airfare, hotel, and the perfect pool.
A solo traveler has always wanted to visit Morocco, but isn’t sure how to do it confidently. They talk through what they want to see and do, and the AI agent returns a list of safety-rated neighborhoods and activities that will make their dreams come true.

We are actively trialing AI solutions to fit travelers’ needs, and we’d love for you to come innovate with us! Reach out to your account manager to be a part of the journey.
