´Booking´ Platform plans to lay off a quarter of its employees!

The official in charge of the Dutch group that supervises the online tourism reservation platform “Booking.com”, Glenn Vogel, announced today, Friday, that the group intends to lay off a quarter of its users due to the crisis resulting from the emerging Coronavirus pandemic.

Booking, which currently employs 17,000 people, of whom 5,500 are based in Amsterdam, will provide further clarifications on the departments and countries involved in the layoffs in the coming weeks.

The tourist reservation platform, which operates in 65 countries, has been severely affected by restrictions imposed on international travel in the context of the health crisis.

After requesting assistance from the Dutch authorities in order to cover the salaries of its employees during the crisis, the company received a public subsidy of 61 million euros. Only the airline, KLM, and the railways received more aid from the Dutch state.

According to a Booking.com spokesperson, the layoffs would have been larger without this government support.

Because of the "Covid-19" virus crisis, both the housing reservation site "AirBNB" and the tourism advice platform "Trip Advisor" decided to lay off a quarter of their employees.
