Guillaume has completely right when he talks about the wish of Expedia to attract and also to make new partnership to increase offers. This new alliance shows us the power of Expedia and especially its strategy of expansion.

However, from my point of view, Guillaume has forgotten to talk about Expedia and introduce the Company a little bit (Expedia is the world's leading online travel company, empowering business and leisure travellers with the tools and information they need to easily research, plan, book, and experience travel. Expedia, Inc. also provides wholesale travel to offline retail travel agents).

It is the same thing for Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts (Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific's leading luxury hotel group, currently manages 50 hotels under the five-star Shangri-La and four-star Traders brands, with a rooms inventory of over 24,000).

As a conclusion, this article is very relevant because it show us the evolution of online Travel Companies like Expedia through years and also highlight the fact that more and more Great Groups like Shangri-La sign contracts and partnerships to continue to stay in the very closed circle of Prestige hotels with high occupation rate and average daily rate.
