Intense metasearch competition blocks Tripadvisor from holding a network advantage over the next decade, despite the continued rise in industry online penetration and the company's ongoing investment in experiences (Viator) and dining (TheFork), brand in the portfolio that we think exhibit network moat characteristics.
Penetration levels are low and growing in the experience and dining markets. Tripadvisor is well positioned to benefit over the long term, given its critical-mass revenue share in these markets.
Metasearch has lower barriers than online travel agencies, and competition from new entrants that already have large user traffic (such as Meta, Amazon, Alibaba, and Google) could meaningfully affect the firm’s growth outlook. Google continues to deemphasize free organic search, which can elevate marketing costs for Tripadvisor.
