Description

This is a great way to get insights into the world of business analytics in eCommerce, and what’s more fun than the online travel industry?

Who are we?

With one of the widest selections of accommodation online, Expedia is a one-stop shopping source. We test everything, from new functionality within mobile apps or on websites, analysing results from initiatives and campaigns, yielding fascinating customer insights, and driving massive business growth.

Data is really valuable, but it can be messy. At Expedia, our daily task is to get the “juicy” information out of it. This can be done via collecting statistics, visualisation and dashboard, and applying state of the art techniques to big data in order to understand the ever changing online travel market.
