Booking.com

At Booking.com, we work across codes and cultures, so we’re always learning and looking at things differently. Sometimes things get a little wild. Sometimes we go a little too fast. But that’s part of what happens when tech meets travel. Watch how small wins can create big impact through the personal journeys of our four colleagues. Start yours at https://lnkd.in/dZ2rsg2v.

The Booking.com mission of making it easier for everyone to experience the world extends to our global workforce. Our Booking Benefits empower employees to travel on their terms, ticking off bucket-list destinations and catching up with faraway loved ones 🌍 Employees like Senior Internal Communications Specialist Lalana, who combined leave days and our Work from Abroad allowance for a special trip to her homeland during Diwali. She shares: ‘Spending so much time back with friends and family during this festive occasion was absolutely great. I took time off while I was working from India to celebrate the festival, explore my home city, Mumbai, catch up with friends and family and indulge in the good food I've missed so much!’ Our employees also receive exclusive travel discounts, and Lalana booked a series of long-weekend trips across India that saw her relaxing on Puri’s golden beaches, camping in the Thar Desert, viewing temples in Bhubaneshwar and even visiting the havelis, forts and lake of Jaisalmer, a place which recently made the Booking.com Most Welcoming Cities on Earth list for 2024 🦏🌴🛕 Where would you go if you had a month to explore your home country? #bookingcomteam #mybookingcomjourney

Fancy a lemongrass-scented Thai escape? How about the jungles of Costa Rica? 🍜🍃🌋 Our Booking.com Benefits make it easier for our team members to explore, with great benefits like travel discounts. Like Nikolas, who’s been travelling via Booking.com since childhood and is now enjoying the employee globe-trotting experience. He shared details of his first time in Asia, visiting Thailand. “We explored not only Bangkok, but also the northern parts of the country – Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai – then flew down to Phuket. One of the most important reasons for me to travel is to be exposed to different ways of living, and Thailand was exactly that.” In addition to great work-life balance, travel benefits are a real highlight for him, “As an avid traveller myself, working for Booking.com is a dream come true – a company whose mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world.” Where would YOU go with Booking.com Benefits?
