Isreal and Apartheid

Expedia Group, the parent company of CheapTickets, was included in the UN Database of businesses engaged in activities related to the Israeli settlements. This database was created following an independent international fact-finding mission, which aimed to investigate the impact of these settlements on the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. Despite the publication of this report back in Feb. 2020, Expedia Group has continued its operations and continues to benefit from activities in these occupied territories to this day.
