Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings

🚨 Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings Boycott Reasons

Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings, Inc. (LTRIP) is a holding company incorporated in Delaware in 2013, headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, USA, and trading under the symbol OTCMKTS: LTRPA. The company became an independent publicly traded company on August 27, 2014, after being spun off from Liberty Media Corporation. LTRIP's sole operating asset is its controlling interest in TripAdvisor, Inc., an online travel and tourism platform. LTRIP held approximately 11% of the economic interest and 56% of the voting power in TripAdvisor. On December 19, 2024, TripAdvisor entered into an agreement to acquire LTRIP for $435 million; the merger closed on April 29, 2025, and LTRIP became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor, LTRIP's former subsidiary, has been listed in the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) database since 2020 and lists at least 70 accommodations, tours, and restaurants in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and Golan Heights. LTRIP directly contributed to the occupation economy through TripAdvisor.

Key Boycott Drivers:

1. Responsibility as TripAdvisor's Controlling Shareholder for Illegal Settlement Listings: LTRIP was the controlling shareholder of TripAdvisor with 56% of the voting power. TripAdvisor's flagship website, TripAdvisor.com, lists at least 70 different attractions, tours, restaurants, cafés, hotels, and rental apartments in 27 illegal israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. TripAdvisor acts as a booking agent and collects commissions for these listings, directly contributing financially to the growth of the settlement economy. LTRIP, as the controlling shareholder, is responsible for these activities.AFSC Investigate: Liberty TripAdvisor Holdings — TripAdvisor's controlling shareholder (2022)AFSC Investigate: TripAdvisor — 70+ listings in 27 settlements, commission revenue (2022)Amnesty International: Destination: Occupation (January 2019)
2. Inclusion in the UN Database on Illegal Settlements: TripAdvisor, controlled by LTRIP, has been listed in the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) database of companies operating in illegal israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank since 2020. In the September 2025 update, TripAdvisor was named among 158 companies. In the latest September 2026 update, the list grew to 214 companies, and TripAdvisor remained on it. The UN report states that TripAdvisor directly contributes to the occupation economy by listing accommodation units in illegal settlements on its platform.Al Jazeera: UN lists 158 firms tied to illegal israeli settlements (September 2025)Le Monde: Cisjordanie: 214 entreprises liées aux colonies israéliennes (September 2026)
3. Target of Amnesty International's "Destination: Occupation" Campaign: TripAdvisor, controlled by LTRIP, is the primary target of Amnesty International's "Destination: Occupation" campaign launched in January 2019. Amnesty International placed TripAdvisor at the center of this campaign due to its "relative importance to the tourism industry in israeli settlements." As part of the campaign, Amnesty calls on TripAdvisor to remove all listings in illegal settlements.UPI: Amnesty International claims TripAdvisor profiting off israeli war crimes (January 2019)
4. Acquisition of LTRIP by TripAdvisor and Continuation of Control: On December 19, 2024, TripAdvisor entered into an agreement to acquire LTRIP for $435 million. The merger closed on April 29, 2025, and LTRIP became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of TripAdvisor. This merger aimed to simplify TripAdvisor's capital structure but did not introduce any policy change regarding illegal settlement listings.Nasdaq: Merger of Tripadvisor and Liberty TripAdvisor Approved (April 2025)OpenIntel: TripAdvisor Political Audit — No policy change post-merger (February 2026)
