What began as an outlet to “name-your-price” for airline travel in 1998, soon expanded to car rentals and hotels. Hit by the many difficult conditions that 2002 brought, Priceline.com had to quickly change their strategy, citing continuing difficulties in air travel business to their rapid losses in revenue. Priceline.com began to switch their focus from air travel (previously their main product offering) to their hotel and vacation package businesses. After a nearly full year hiatus, Priceline.com are now re-marketing their airline product, with the deployment of a new service designed to address low bind rates.Following the release of their 3Q results, Internet Travel News talks to Glenn Fogel, Senior Vice President, International, Priceline.com.
