NEW YORK, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Online travel agency Booking Holdings Inc (BKNG.O) reported a 36% year-over-year increase in fourth-quarter revenue on Thursday, aided by sustained travel demand.
The Booking.com and KAYAK operator's revenue rose to $4 billion for the quarter, exceeding Wall Street's estimates for $3.89 billion in revenue, according to Refinitiv data.
Gross bookings for the quarter rose 44% from the year-ago period to $27.3 billion, the company said.
Booking Holdings said gross travel bookings for fiscal year 2022 increased 58% to $121.3 billion.
Other U.S. travel companies including Booking's peer, vacation rental Airbnb Inc (ABNB.O), also reported strong fourth quarter results on sustained travel demand, despite economic concerns.
