CEO Steve Kaufer said, "Click-based revenue is growing this year, and we believe our ongoing initiatives position our Hotel segment for longer-term growth. Over the coming years, as our product and marketing work coalesce, and as more users look to TripAdvisor to find the best prices before they book, we believe we can drive more revenue, marketing efficiency and profitability in this business."
