Hyatt, Expedia reach formal deal to remain ‘frenemies’

Hyatt Hotels Corp. reported to HOTELS on Friday that it has reached a final agreement with Expedia to maintain distribution of Hyatt hotels on Expedia platforms.

Here is a statement sent by Senior Manager of Corporate Communications Stephanie Sheppard:

“Our formal agreement with Expedia is complete. The team at Expedia worked quickly and productively with us, and we are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship without interruption to Hyatt hotel distribution on all Expedia platforms. As we continue to build the value proposition for our guests who book directly with Hyatt, we also work with third-party distributors to reach guests who might not be frequent travelers or who otherwise have a reason to book through these sites. These recent agreements with both Booking.com and Expedia allow us to achieve our goal of making Hyatt hotels available where many guests are booking while also reducing costs and improving flexibility.”
