Expedia is mulling an initial public offering for subsidiary Trivago.
The Germany based hotel booking site was bought by Expedia in 2012 for $632 million.
Expedia Inc CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said it could happen this year but has no plans to offload any shares in the business.
"An IPO would allow customers to value Trivago as a separate standalone company," Khosrowshahi said.
"Note that this is an IPO, not a spinoff. Expedia does not plan to sell off any of its shares in an IPO, nor is there any guarantee that an IPO will ultimately be pursued or successful."
Trivago posted $201 million in revenue for this quarter, up 41% compared to last year.
