"Unit growth in the Priceline Group's global hotel business held steady in the 1st quarter at 38% versus the prior year," said Jeffery H. Boyd, Chairman and CEO of The Priceline Group. "International gross bookings growth of 43% in the 1st quarter reflects continued strong performance of our international brands around the world. Domestic gross bookings growth accelerated in the quarter with improving results in our hotel and rental car businesses, aided by the roll out last year of our Express DealsSM semi-opaque service."
Looking forward, Mr. Boyd said, "We continue to see economic uncertainty in certain regions, and competition in the online travel sector remains intense.
