Expedia is a major online travel powerhouse that lets users book flights, hotels, car rentals, cruises, and vacation packages all in one spot, making wanderlust a click away for budget backpackers and luxury lovers alike. It began as a brainchild within Microsoft before spinning off into its own adventure, growing into Expedia Group which now owns a fleet of brands. Interestingly, Expedia's platform thrives on user reviews and AI-driven recommendations, turning trip planning into a personalized quest, though sometimes it feels like the algorithm knows your dream destination better than you do.

When it comes to being woke, Expedia has fully boarded the social justice express, touting DEI like it's the hottest travel deal, while backing LGBTQ+ inclusivity, nodding to BLM, and rolling out ESG policies that promise a greener globe and racial equity for all. They're all about creating "travel for everyone," which includes virtue-signaling on human rights and sustainability, because apparently booking a flight now comes with a mandatory side of moral high ground.
