Many view the deal as a "win-win" for ESPN, Penn, and its former partner Barstool Sports. Industry insiders say the deal could signal a potential ESPN spinoff, disrupt competition, and more.

Best positioned to harness AI Some big travel industry names have already begun experimenting with AI. Wasiolek noted that the company operates as a hybrid online travel agency and metasearch model, while Booking, Expedia and Airbnb , among others, serve as online travel agencies. "The difference is the barriers to entry are higher for online travel agencies because these operators control and manage the relationships with travel suppliers on their platform, while metasearch is simply a platform that hosts online travel agency managed content and content directly from travel suppliers," Wasiolek explained. These platforms represent more direct competition to Tripadvisor than online travel agencies. But success in travel from Google could also pose problems for online travel agencies.

Feb 9 (Reuters) - Online travel booking company Expedia Group Inc (EXPE.O) missed Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter profit on Thursday, hit by a spike in cancellations and bad weather near the end of the quarter. Travel demand has generally been strong throughout last year despite recession and inflation fears. Expedia posted revenue of $2.62 billion, missing Wall Street estimates of $2.7 billion. The company's quarterly adjusted profit was $1.26 per share, short of analysts' expectations of $1.67 per share, according to Refinitiv data. "They said last quarter that they're seeing evidence that they're getting better marketing ROI-wise, but it's not coming through in the numbers for us," he added.
