Business segment
TripAdvisor organizes its activities into two four activity segments:

Hotels: includes the Company operating an online hotel reservation portal and providing related hotel
services, as well as the sale of various online advertising solutions.

Tourist attractions: includes the Company providing information and services to research and book
destination activities around the world, mainly through its Viator unit.

Restaurant: Including the Company providing online and mobile restaurant reservation services.

Vacation rental: includes the Company's activities on the vacation real estate rental portal.

resources
The primary function of the primary resources and assets in the underlying business model is to
reinforce the indirect effects of this central business model. For TripAdvisor, these are the reviews
(content) and their inventory (the number of hotels and restaurants that attract reviews and pre-
booked). Other important resources, such as websites and mobile apps, are there to provide a customer
experience, all to effectively minimize conflicts.
