Expedia Group will lay off dozens of corporate employees at its headquarters in Seattle, according to a letter sent to Washington state officials in accordance with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
The permanent layoffs are expected to impact 58 employees holding a variety of titles at the company, per the WARN letter. They are expected to take effect between Nov. 21 and Dec. 1, 2026.
Expedia Group will lay off employees in data scientist, finance manager, senior accountant, senior financial analyst and software development engineer roles, among others. The company also plans to cut multiple vice presidents, per the letter.
Some of the layoffs “are the result of, or will result in, the relocation or contracting out of the employer’s operations or the employees’ positions,” according to the letter.
Expedia Group declined to provide additional comment. The company owns Travelocity, Orbitz, Vrbo, Expedia, Hotels.com and other online travel booking platforms.
Across the travel sector, hospitality software provider Mews announced in July that it would lay off 15% of its staff in a pivot to an “AI-native” future.
Meanwhile, Marriott International confirmed earlier this month it is undergoing “organizational changes” as the result of a strategic review of its Customer Engagement Centers. The company laid off more than 800 corporate employees in 2024 as part of a companywide restructuring.
