Trip.com is a multinational travel service conglomerate with 45,000 employees. It is one of the world's largest online travel agencies with over 400 million users worldwide, and also the parent of Skyscanner. It is headquartered in Singapore. [1] [2]
The site provides booking services for flights, hotels, trains, car rentals, airport transfers, tours and attraction tickets, and claims to offer more than 1.2 million hotels in 200 countries and regions, as well as over 2 million flight routes connecting more than 5,000 cities. Train tickets for use in the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Mainland China are also available for purchase on the site. [3]
Trip.com is available in 19 different languages, including English, Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Turkish, Polish, Greek, Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai, with the mobile app also featuring Vietnamese and Filipino. [4] It also provides localized English versions for Australia, Singapore, the United States and Hong Kong. [4] Specifically for the Chinese domestic market, the services are provided by the original and traditional website ctrip.com that is in Chinese (Simplified).
The original business, built by entrepreneurs Travis Katz and Ori Zaltzman, was a travel booking site that featured user-generated content and "predictive intelligence-based technology." In October 2017, Trip.com was acquired by Chinese travel company Ctrip and became that company's flagship brand outside of China. At the time of acquisition, CTrip reported Trip.com had more than 60 million users. [5] The price of the deal was not disclosed. The Palo Alto–based startup had raised $39 million in funding. Expedia, Redpoint Ventures and Battery Ventures were among the investors in the company, which was founded in 2010. [6]
Prior to its acquisition by the Trip.com Group in 2017, the Trip.com brand had changed hands several times. [7]
