Many will argue that Barry Diller's views are contrarian, but he's indeed correct that many sustainability programs are puffery.
Barry Diller, the senior executive at both Expedia Group and IAC, thinks many Environmental, Social and Governance programs amount to "empty calories," remote work options have been foisted on corporations by a few California tech companies, and the mid-term elections in the U.S. could be a "grim" precursor to the Presidential vote in 2024.
Skift Editor-In-Chief Tom Lowry interviewed Diller on these and many other travel-related topics on stage at Skift Global Forum 2022 in Manhattan on September 20.
Diller said the several-year-old reorganization of Expedia Group has revolutionized the company, that the future of the casino hotel is bright, and airfares and hotel rates will have to get lower.
