Expedia is awesome. Rated best place to work in the UK, even in front of Google. They have hundreds of brands, which you certainly know and use whenever you travel.

They own hotels.com, which is doing incredibly well by any metrics you could think of. Last I checked, airbnb was about 2% of the bookings of hotels.com. It's negligible.

That being said, they are not competing. Hotels and BnB are not interchangeable.
