Expedia Raises Full-Year Outlook Amid Resilient Travel Demand

Imagine a company that helps people book trips, like Expedia.

They told everyone that they expect to make more money this year than they thought before!

This is because lots of people are still booking flights and hotels, even as the holidays get closer.

Expedia's numbers for the summer were really good, and October is looking strong too.

They also said that both fancy hotels and more budget-friendly places are seeing lots of bookings.

This means people are still eager to travel, no matter their budget.

Other travel companies like Booking.com and Airbnb are also seeing good demand.

Expedia is also expanding its business services to help other companies with travel.

They are watching to see if a recent government shutdown in the US will affect travel plans.
