Expedia lowers 2024 growth forecast on vacation rental unit drag
"Given the Vrbo drag and the rate of acceleration in B2C thus far, we are lowering our full-year guidance to a range of mid- to high-single-digit top line growth, with margins relatively in line versus last year," said CEO Peter Kern. The company was expecting a boost in profits after the migration of its Vrbo vacation rentals brand to the Expedia platform, which allows travelers to book across Expedia's brands.
