Booking Launches Vayo Travel Agent With Planned $100 Million Investment

09:47 AM EDT, 10/14/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Booking (BKNG) said Wednesday it plans to invest $100 million in Vayo, a personal travel agent launching in free beta by invitation. The tool gathers bookings from a user's inbox, tracks prices and flags problems when plans shift, working across Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, KAYAK and OpenTable as well as bookings made outside those brands, the company said. A waitlist is open on the website, and the first beta targets frequent travelers who take several trips a year, Booking said. Vayo only reads the travel confirmations it needs and leaves the rest of a user's inbox private, and the company plans to add direct booking, a mobile app, and group trip planning, Booking added.
