At Expedia, we take pride in our ability to stay one step ahead of our competitors. How will you contribute to this trend?
There are very few travel sites larger than Expedia Group, and Expedia has purchased and taken over its competitors in the past, like Travelocity and Orbitz. It is critical to research Expedia and its most vigorous competitors before your interview. Find out what Expedia does best and who is trying to do it better. Speak openly with the interviewer about your ability to work competitively and how you plan to contribute to their continued success.
"I believe the best way to stay ahead of your competitors is to pay attention to the fine details. When you put out a great product, others will try to mimic your work, but they will cut corners because they feel rushed to get it out on the marketplace first. I will contribute to the success of Expedia by committing my most attentive work to you every day."
"I think that the best way to stay ahead of competitors is to keep your projects as simple as possible while remaining innovative. People want simple, easy services they can understand. Lately, your travel competitors overcomplicate their service offerings and affiliate partnerships. I offer the clean and consistent output that your customers and target market know and enjoy."

Compare and contrast how the needs of Expedia's products match up to the needs/desires of its customers and potential customers. If there is a way that Expedia can better address a customer desire, share that idea with Expedia staff.

The concept is there, but I would recommend building on that. I have included an example below.
"I plan to contribute to Expedia's competitive nature by presenting any ideas that I have, to my leaders. If I see that an Expedia product is not matching the needs or desires of its customers, I will be sure to mention my observations from the front-line."
