e group expedia 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 . Metric " 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 .
