Google adds vacation rentals to booking platform

Google has added vacation rentals to its hotel booking platform, according to Skift. The tech giant is partnering with Expedia, HomeAway, TripAdvisor, and others to list short-stay apartments, cabins, villas, and houses in search results. These vacation rentals are geared toward travelers looking to settle into a new location.

Worth Noting: Google is conspicuously not including Airbnb’s listings.

The Google way: The internet giant always pilots new features and products before incorporating them… They first started testing this concept in select markets In 2017.
