It was acquired by IAC/InterActiveCorp in 2003 and became part of IAC Travel , only to be spun off as Expedia Inc. in 1995. Over the years, the Seattle-headquartered company expanded through a series of acquisitions of major online travel sites including Travelocity, Trivago and Orbitz ; its other assets include Hotels.com, Vrbo, CheapTickets and CarRentals.com . Among its most recent corporate developments, Expedia Group signed an agreement last month to become a preferred redistributor of InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE: IHG ) properties’ wholesale rates through Expedia Group’s Optimized Distribution Preferred program.
