+Added: The Tripadvisor group (the “Group”) is a portfolio of global online platforms purpose-built to connect travelers with experiences, accommodations, restaurants and other relevant travel destination points of interest (“POIs”).
+Added: Our mission is to be the world’s most trusted source for travel and experiences.
+Added: We offer travelers the ability to search, discover, book, and review experiences, hotels, and restaurants seamlessly through our two-sided marketplaces across three primary consumer-facing brands:
+Added: Viator, Tripadvisor, and TheFork.
+Added: Tripadvisor also plays a unique role in broader travel planning and guidance, offering authentic traveler-submitted reviews and content, travel planning tools and related technology to instill confidence for travelers in every part of their travel journey.
+Added: The Company measures its financial performance within the following business segments:
+Added: Experiences, Hotels and Other, and TheFork.
+Added: The Company’s strategy is focused on growing and scaling its Experiences and TheFork marketplaces, which we believe represents an attractive long-term value creation opportunity, while optimizing its legacy offerings within the Hotels and Other segment for profitability.
+Added: The Group’s globally recognized brands and extensive user-generated content (“UGC”) support traveler search, discovery, and planning, which in-turn generates high-intent demand for its experiences and dining marketplace offerings as well for commercial partners in the hotels category and advertising opportunities for endemic and non-endemic advertisers.
+Added: In turn, clickstream and behavioral data reflecting traveler intent, transactional data from its experiences and dining marketplaces, UGC, and structured and unstructured data related to millions of POIs, attractions, and destinations enhance the customer experience through product enhancements and personalization, reinforcing the discovery and engagement loop over time.
+Added: In addition, the breadth, depth, and scale of first party data is uniquely valuable in the Company’s pursuit to innovate in the application of artificial intelligence (“AI”) for travel and experiences discovery, planning, and booking.
+Added: The Company believes its portfolio of unique assets creates a compelling global travel platform for travelers, including:
+Added: • Tripadvisor's content and branded platform for upper-funnel traveler intent for experiences, and Viator’s content and branded platform for mid-and-lower funnel traveler intent for experiences.
+Added: Both branded platforms leverage a shared global supply platform of more than 425,000 bookable experiences from 70,000 operators;
+Added: • The trusted Tripadvisor brand within Hotels and Other travel categories to drive traveler discovery, intent, and data engine;
+Added: • TheFork’s recognized brand, content, relationships with more than 50,000 restaurants, and scaled diner community across 11 European countries;
+Added: • Integrated AI and machine learning capabilities serving as the connective layer for ongoing enhancements to traveler personalization, planning, and conversion.
+Added: Our Business Models
+Added: The Company measures its financial performance within the following business segments:
+Added: Experiences, Hotels and Other, and TheFork.
+Added: For additional information regarding our segments and the recent restructuring and related reorganization actions, please see Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the heading “ Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments.
+Added: The Experiences segment includes both Viator and Tripadvisor points-of-sale.
+Added: Viator is a pure-play experiences online travel agency (“OTA”), offering an online global marketplace focused on merchandising bookable experiences to travelers that typically have relatively higher purchase intent either pre-destination or in-destination.
+Added: Tripadvisor is an online global travel guidance platform that also merchandises experiences to its
+Added: audience, which more commonly serves travelers in the discovery and planning phases.
+Added: Both brands leverage Viator’s centralized supply platform that supports operator onboarding, operator inventory management, bookings, payments, fraud prevention, and customer support.
+Added: This architecture enables the Company to serve different customer intents across brands while benefiting from shared scale, data, and marketplace economics.
+Added: In addition to its owned and operated platforms (Viator and Tripadvisor), the Company also syndicates its experiences supply to other third-party endemic and non-endemic demand partners.
+Added: Demand from these partners largely reaches travelers from regions outside our core geographic markets and, therefore, drives incremental traveler demand.
+Added: The Experiences segment revenue is generated primarily through commission-based transactions on completed experiences offerings.
+Added: The Hotels and Other segment primarily consists of the Tripadvisor hotel and restaurant guidance platform, which includes hotel metasearch, and related advertising offerings primarily for hotels and restaurants and, to a lesser extent, cruises through our branded subsidiary Cruise Critic.
+Added: Hotels and Other revenue is generated primarily through click-based advertising including cost-per-click (“CPC”) and cost-per-acquisition (“CPA”);
+Added: media advertising revenue is primarily generated through impression-based advertising (“CPM”).
+Added: This segment primarily provides travelers with tools to research, compare, and plan travel while delivering qualified traffic to partners and advertisers primarily across the experiences, hotels, restaurants, and cruise travel categories.
+Added: TheFork segment operates an online dining marketplace by enabling diners to discover and book restaurant reservations in Europe.
+Added: TheFork provides restaurants with purpose-built software tools to help manage their reservations and attract diners.
+Added: Revenue is generated through a combination of transaction ‘per seated diner’ fees for completed reservations and as well as restaurant subscription fees for use of their electronic reservation booking (“ERB”) software.
Our Industry and Market Opportunity
−Removed: We are one of the world’s largest online travel companies and our consolidated annual revenue in 2024 represents a small fraction of total worldwide travel spending, which highlights the potential size of our global market opportunity.
−Removed: Phocuswright, an independent travel, tourism and hospitality research firm, estimated global travel spending, exclusive of experiences, vacation rentals, and dining, at approximately $1.6 trillion in 2024.
−Removed: Phocuswright estimates global travel spending will reach approximately $1.9 trillion by 2027, with an expected increasing share booked through online channels each year.
−Removed: We believe that we are a compelling leader in the global experiences industry and well positioned to capture increased share in a large and growing market that we estimate to reach approximately $365 billion by 2028 based on data from Arival’s October 2022 report (the “Arival Report”), a leading research provider on the in-destination experiences industry, and internal company projections.
−Removed: Moreover, we believe we are poised to benefit from
−Removed: increased online adoption in the global experiences industry.
−Removed: Based on data from Phocuswright and Arival, we estimate online penetration in experiences is approximately half of other major travel categories, such as hotel accommodations, and we anticipate the total size of the online experiences market will continue to grow as travelers become increasingly aware of the category online and operators continue to shift their business online.
−Removed: In addition, OTAs are the fastest growing channel in the travel experiences market and are expected to undergo significant growth going forward, with the OTA channel expected to experience a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 37% from 2022 to the end of 2025 according to the Arival Report.
−Removed: Based on information in Euromonitor's February 2022 report, a leading provider of global business intelligence, market research data and analysis, we estimate the full-service European restaurants industry may reach approximately $250 billion by the end of 2025.
−Removed: In addition, based on this same data, this industry is exhibiting a similar trend as the experiences’ industry in terms of online adoption;
−Removed: the majority of restaurant reservation bookings still take place offline, but an increasing share is booked through online channels each year.
−Removed: We believe that we are still early in the global shift in consumer adoption towards booking experiences and restaurants online, which provides an exciting future market opportunity for our business.
+Added: The Company operates in large, growing global travel markets.
+Added: The Company has a particular strategic focus on the global travel experiences market, which it believes represents a significant long-term growth and value creation opportunity for the Group.
+Added: Large, Growing, and Underpenetrated Experiences Market
+Added: The global travel experiences market, which includes tours, activities, attractions, and related experiential travel offerings, is large, highly fragmented, and remains significantly underpenetrated online.
+Added: According to third-party industry research from Arival, the global experiences market is expected to reach approximately $365 billion by 2028.
+Added: In 2025, Arival estimates the industry is approximately 30% online penetrated, which is meaningfully lower than that of other major travel categories.
+Added: Arival estimates that the online portion of the market will grow faster than the offline portion as operators adopt online tools and migrate, manage, and grow their businesses online, and as the secular shift of travelers increasingly moves more online for search, discovery, and booking continues.
+Added: As a greater portion of the experiences market transacts via online channels, the Company believes its branded platforms are well positioned to benefit from this secular tailwind.
+Added: The Company believes that as the industry digitizes, travelers and suppliers increasingly gravitate toward larger, trusted platforms that offer broad inventory, transparency, trusted reviews, and seamless booking and fulfillment, and that its scale and brand recognition position it to benefit from this shift.
+Added: Large Other Global Markets:
+Added: Restaurants and Travel Discovery
+Added: In addition to the experiences market, the Company operates in large adjacent markets, including the full-service restaurant market and restaurant technology market as well as the broader global online travel discovery and advertising markets.
+Added: According to recent Euromonitor data, the European full-service restaurant industry represents a large and growing market, with online reservations accounting for a growing but still underpenetrated portion of total dining activity.
+Added: The Company believes TheFork is well positioned to benefit from continued digitization of restaurants migrating online as well as consumer booking behavior migrating more online.
+Added: The global travel discovery and accommodations advertising market also remains large, though it continues to evolve due to changes in consumer behavior, mobile usage, and search engine dynamics.
+Added: Phocuswright, an independent travel, tourism and hospitality research firm, estimates global travel spending will continue to grow and reach approximately $1.8 trillion by 2027, exclusive of travel experiences, alternative accommodations, and dining, with an expected increasing share booked through online channels each year.
+Added: We believe the Group’s brands, audience scale, and data assets position it to continue serving as a meaningful entry point for travel discovery that we can funnel to our higher-growth experiences and dining marketplace businesses.

−Removed: For over two decades, we believe we have built difficult to replicate assets such as a trusted brand, authentic content, a large community of contributors, and one of the largest global travel audiences.

−Removed: Our Business Models
−Removed: We manage the Brand Tripadvisor segment primarily through the following revenue sources and related business models:
−Removed: • Tripadvisor-branded Hotels Revenue.
−Removed: The largest source of Brand Tripadvisor segment revenue is generated from click-based advertising on our hotel meta platform (also referred to as our hotel auction), which consists primarily of contextually-relevant booking links to partner websites, which predominantly include OTAs and hotels.
−Removed: Click-based advertising is generally priced on a cost-per-click (“CPC”) basis, with payments from partners determined by the number of clicks generated on a commerce link multiplied by the CPC rate for each particular click.
−Removed: CPC rates are determined in a dynamic, competitive auction bidding process.
−Removed: We also generate click-based advertising revenue on a cost-per-acquisition (“CPA”) basis, with payments from partners determined by a contractual commission rate based on a traveler click generated on our platform that ultimately results in a hotel booking and stay via the partners’ websites.

−Removed: Display-based advertising placements are predominantly sold on a cost per thousand impressions (“CPM”) basis.
−Removed: • Tripadvisor Experiences and Dining Revenue.
−Removed: We merchandise, on the Tripadvisor platform, bookable experiences available on Viator and bookable dining reservations available on TheFork and earn affiliate marketing commission revenue on bookings that are driven by our platform, which are fulfilled by Viator and TheFork, respectively.
−Removed: These transactions generate intercompany (intersegment) revenue which is eliminated on a consolidated basis.
−Removed: The nature and
−Removed: economics of these transactions are consistent with the Viator segment and TheFork segment, as described below.
−Removed: We provide additional B2B offerings to restaurant partners that deliver other unique opportunities to further promote, advertise, and operate their businesses as well as merchandise their businesses on our platform.

−Removed: In addition, Viator offers our “Reserve Now, Pay Later” payment option, which allows our travelers the option to reserve certain experiences and defer payment until a date no later than two days before the experience date.
−Removed: TheFork segment offers travelers and diners a comprehensive online marketplace that provides access to approximately 55,000 restaurants to discover and book reservations in 11 countries across the U.K., western and central Europe.
−Removed: We primarily generate revenue for each booking reservation we facilitate on our platform, calculated on a per seated diner fee basis and paid for by the restaurant partner.
−Removed: We also generate revenue on a subscription basis from restaurant partners by providing, for a fee, access to premium online reservation booking software and related services offerings to help them more effectively and efficiently manage their business, as well as, partnerships with non-restaurant partners providing dining experiences to elevate and unlock benefits for their users and members.
