“We have many accommodation owners - people who own small hotels, villa...” — Gillian Tans Quote

We have many accommodation owners - people who own small hotels, villas and bungalows - and the digital economy has opened up a world of possibility for these business owners. Now, they can sell to and communicate with people around the world, and where Booking.com comes in is to help these accommodation owners adapt to the digital world.

Using science to tell us what customers are looking for is second nature for us here.

From the early days, Booking.com has been disruptive. Our aim is to create the best product for our customers, and we do that through constant innovation and testing.

With any previous transition we made with technology, it hasn't been the case that we need less people.

The public thinks that homelessness is about not having any accommodation to go to.

Save the Children is also working to improve accommodation for refugee families living outside settlements. I met a family which had been living in a substandard building without windows, doors or a toilet.

We're a provider of experiences, not strictly accommodation.

The accommodation for the players to dress themselves, to change into their club shirts, are in most stadiums not so good.

My door will always be open to those who genuinely renounce violence and seek peaceful accommodation into our nascent democracy.
