About Travelocity
Travelocity launched in 1996 out of the Sabre reservation system that airlines had used since the 1960s, and its roaming gnome advertising made it one of the best-known travel brands in America. Expedia took over its operations in 2015 and now runs it as a storefront on its own platform.

About the owner: Expedia Group
Expedia Group is a publicly listed company headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States, founded in 1996. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control, and it is listed as NASDAQ: EXPE.
Expedia began in 1996 as a division of Microsoft, was spun out in 1999, and passed through Barry Diller's IAC before becoming independent again in 2005. It owns most of the American online travel brands that appear to compete with each other, which is why comparing Expedia against Hotels.com and Orbitz compares three products from one company.
