Travel....now? How are they doing?

Google spr1ng OP Nov 11, 2020

They are hiring a lot, so I assume not bad. Wrong?

Dunno, never heard of them....but focus on vacation activities in this environment seems....risky.

It’s just the asian version of Groupon. Would you move to Groupon from FANG?

Google spr1ng OP Nov 11, 2020

I thought they were more in the travel organization space, rather than just discounts, no?

American Express skfi6283 Nov 12, 2020

What is travel organization? They sell travel related activities and products at a discount. Which groupon also does, and more.
