The
Priceline Group recently surpassed Expedia to become the world’s
highest-grossing online hotel reservations company and the largest
player in online travel.
CEO Darren Huston
spoke to CBC’s The Lang & O’Leary Exchange about the success of
Booking.com, which has staff in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal
who work with local hotels, motels and B&Bs.
“Those
local teams work with the properties very much hand in hand because
they want to make sure they get the lowest price for the guest, but they
also need to get the availability,” he said.
“Properties
in low times, they’ll take all the guests they can, but in high times
we want to make sure that our guests can get rooms as well.”
Darren Huston says Priceline was built on a better consumer experience online and leveraging the power of the internet.
