Booking Holdings Cuts Customer-Service Cost Per Booking

Booking Holdings said on its Feb. 18 quarterly earnings call that generative AI reduced customer-service cost per booking by 10% year over year, even as bookings grew 10%. CFO Ewout Steenbergen and CEO Glenn Fogel credited 2025 rollouts of natural-language search, smart filters, summaries and agentic AI for improved conversion, engagement and lower cancellations, and plan further integrations in 2026.
