Advice to Management

Move John Kim to CEO. Change your mission to fundamentally redefine the travel experience for the world. Commit to big risks and build an Expedia Tech 2.0 team to make it happen.

Go big or go home. Stop this offshoring bondage you are about to put yourselves into. This is embracing commoditization instead of automation, and you cannot recover from that.
