Speaking to CNBC on Thursday, Expedia's CEO Dara Khosrowshahi discussed the company's performance and how low oil prices are giving a boost to his business.
Khosrowshahi acknowledged that the recent terrorist attack in Paris, France, had a minor effect on global travel. Nevertheless, the company ended the fiscal year with nearly $60 billion in gross bookings and $1.2 billion in EBITDA.
Khosrowshahi continued that customer demand for hotels continued to grow in the fourth quarter at a "very significant rate." He pointed out that room night growth was over 36 percent in the fourth quarter.
Commenting on the overall macro-economic difficulties, Khosrowshahi stated that he isn't "feeling it as much in our business. In fact, the executive stated that low oil prices is a positive for the travel industry as lower air ticket prices leaves travelers with extra cash in their pocket to spend at hotels.
"Low oil prices for us are actually a positive as they get the leisure traveler out there," Khosrowshahi concluded.
