Online travel giant Booking.com will be held to a stricter regulatory standard in 27 European countries, but it remains to be seen what the true impact will be.
Booking Holdings, the U.S. company that owns Booking.com and a number of other travel websites, has been added to the European Union's list of companies now under heightened digital scrutiny. The European Commission, the EU’s executive branch, said Monday that it’s classing Booking Holdings as an online gatekeeper and that the company’s Booking.com hotel reservation site meets the threshold to be classed as a “core platform service” under the 27-nation bloc's Digital Markets Act. European Commission Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager said the decision means that vacationers "will start benefiting from more choice and hotels will have more business opportunities.”
The European Union on Monday added Dutch online travel giant Booking.com to its list of digital companies that are big enough to fall under tougher competition rules.In the same statement on Monday, the commission also said it opted not to include advertising services provided by X and TikTok on its list. raz/ec/rlp
