$UBER Dine-out partnership with Opentable at $BKNG will be interesting Investment-light way of $UBER going further into the restaurant channel (a lot cheaper than $DASH buying SevenRooms). I assume the economics are decent insofar that OpenTable is likely paying a vig to Uber

Look what happens when you're overreliant on SEO: (Tripadvisor $TRIP gets the majority of traffic through SEO). Disastrous for the business when the free ride on $GOOGL 10 blue links vanishes

Despite the slow-ish growth of the core tours & experiences market you definitely have some healthy user growth for Klook and GetYourGuide while Viator at $TRIP appears to be struggling lately. For $ABNB though, even if you combined all of the MAU at the above
