Expedia Group Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results Exhibit 99.1 Expedia Group Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results SEATTLE, WA – August 5, 2021 – Expedia Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPE) announced financial results today for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021. “The second quarter saw continued improvement in many global travel segments with North America in particular showing strength. Expedia Group benefited from strong vacation rental performance and improved conventional lodging, offset by continued softness in international travel, corporate travel, and relatively high consumer interest in smaller markets and lower-end accommodations. While that strength has continued into Q3, recent Covid variant news around the world continues to create uncertainty in the travel industry,” said Vice Chairman and CEO, Peter Kern. “Unfortunately, the road to full travel recovery remains bumpy until more of the world is vaccinated. For our part, we just launched our Give the World a Shot program in partnership with UNICEF to help support global Covid-19 vaccine distribution. We invite other companies to join this effort so we can all get the world back on its feet again.” Financial Summary & Operating Metrics ($ millions except per share amounts)(1) Expedia Group, Inc.

Page 1 of 17 Gross Bookings & Revenue Revenue by Segment ($ millions) Revenue Second Quarter 2021 2020 Δ% Retail $ 1,715 $ 463 270% B2B 305 68 348% Corporate (Bodybuilding.com) — 20 NM Expedia Group (excluding trivago) $ 2,020 $ 551 266% trivago 115 18 551% Intercompany eliminations (24) (3) 781% Total $ 2,111 $ 566 273% For the second quarter of 2021, total gross bookings and total revenue both increased significantly compared to the second quarter of 2020. Booking trends for lodging, air, and other travel products all improved sequentially from the first quarter of 2021. Both Retail and B2B segment revenue increased compared to the second quarter of 2020. The growth in gross bookings and revenue largely reflect continued improvement in leisure travel trends during the quarter. Product & Services Detail - Second Quarter 2021 As a percentage of total worldwide revenue in the second quarter of 2021, lodging accounted for 73%, advertising and media accounted for 8%, air accounted for 4% and all other revenues accounted for the remaining 15%. Lodging revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 driven by a significant increase in room nights stayed and growth in revenue per room night. Revenue per room night benefited from higher average daily rates ("ADRs") driven by an increase in regional rates and a higher mix of U.S. hotels compared to the second quarter of 2020. Air revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 driven largely by an increase in tickets sold as air travel demand improved. Advertising and media revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 due to increases at both trivago and Expedia Group Media Solutions. Other revenue increased in the second quarter of 2021 driven by growth from both car and travel insurance products. Other revenue included revenue related to Bodybuilding.com for the second quarter of 2020, but not for the second quarter of 2021 as the Bodybuilding.com business was disposed of in May 2020.

Some numbers may not add due to rounding. *Adjusted expenses are non-GAAP measures. See pages 10-16 herein for a description and reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures. **Expedia Group (excluding trivago) figures exclude both trivago costs and expenses and trivago revenue when calculating 'As a % of Revenue.' Cost of Revenue • For the second quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted cost of revenue decreased 2% and 3%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to decreased customer service and personnel costs, lower bad debt expense, and the absence of expenses related to Bodybuilding.com which was disposed of in May 2020. Selling and Marketing • For the second quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted total selling and marketing expense increased 313% and 320%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to a $912 million increase in direct costs as marketing spend increased in anticipation of a further recovery in travel demand. Indirect costs, which represented 16% of total GAAP selling and marketing costs in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 69% in the second quarter of 2020, and 14% of total adjusted selling and marketing expense in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 68% in the second quarter of 2020, decreased 2% and 12%, respectively, due to lower personnel costs in connection with previously announced cost savings initiatives. Page 3 of 17 Technology and Content • For the second quarter of 2021, total GAAP technology and content expense increased 2%, and total adjusted technology and content expense decreased 4%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, due to lower personnel and related costs in connection with previously announced cost savings initiatives. The year-over-year benefit for GAAP technology and content expense was offset by higher stock-based compensation. General and Administrative • For the second quarter of 2021, total GAAP and adjusted general and administrative expense increased 23% and 4%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2020, mainly due to a shift in personnel costs from bonus to salary. The year-over-year increase in GAAP general and administrative expense was driven by higher stock-based compensation.

  • Tourism Companies and Animal Welfare
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2021 – Pages 75-88 Tourism Companies and Animal Welfare By Peter Jones* & Daphne Comfort± Animals play an important role in a wide range of tourism activities, and animal welfare is an increasingly important issue within the tourist industry. While there is a growing volume of research on animal welfare within tourism, little work has been published in the academic literature on how tourism companies address animal welfare. This exploratory paper looks to add to, and extend, that literature by providing a review of how seven tourism companies. have publicly addressed animal welfare. The paper reveals that four themes: corporate commitment to animal welfare; policies on specific animals and on experiences and contacts with animals; the role of various stakeholders in the value chain in addressing animal welfare; and monitoring and audit processes, illustrated the companies approach to animal welfare. The authors also raise a number of wider issues and offers some suggestions for future research agendas. Keywords: animal welfare, animal welfare statements, tourism companies, stakeholders, auditing Introduction The screenshot of a western woman riding a horse at speed through a desert landscape is arguably the most striking features of an advertisement for tourism in Saudi Arabia which was shown on commercial television in the UK in 2021 (iSpot.tv. 2021). As such, the advertisement offered an exciting illustration of the role animals can play in a wide variety of tourism experiences. Fennel (2015a), for example, claimed ‘animals are used in so many different capacities to facilitate the needs of tourists and the tourism industry.
