At Booking.com, we believe travel is a force for good in the
world, connecting people and cultures, reducing barriers and increasing understanding. Our
mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. In the Trips business unit,
we’re committed to truly connecting your trip, offering not only accommodation, but everything
else you might want to book as part of your trip. From a visit to the Eiffel Tower, to a travel
pass to explore Barcelona your way, or your car for that dream Route 62 road trip, we want to
make that trip a memorable one.

customers with taxis & public transport services so that they can truly connect their trip from
