Expedia Group for Hosts via Hostaway

What Expedia Group Covers

Connecting Expedia in Hostaway gives exposure across the Expedia Group marketplace: Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire, and 200+ affiliated booking sites globally. Expedia primarily targets hotel/travel-bundle guests; VRBO is the vacation-rental-focused channel within the same corporate group.

Critical distinction: Expedia and VRBO are separate integrations in Hostaway — they do not share a connection. If your properties are short-term vacation rentals, Expedia may redirect you toward VRBO during onboarding. See references/vrbo.md for VRBO-specific guidance.
