The e-commerce website of shopping.com (booking.com) announced a milestone: 5 million records in the category of ‘homes, apartments and special places to stay’.
Booking.com has become a tourism empire with about 200 offices in 70 countries and more than 17,000 employees. Established in 1996 as a start-up in Amsterdam, Holland, the site is undoubtedly one of the creators of the digital revolution in the tourism industry and one of the leaders of the era of e-commerce in general.
The novelty of the day, which is now mainstream, was to allow the masses who light up the option of alternative accommodation (today, as noted, mainstream) and experience of the time reserved until then only for individuals.
