In the same vein, booking.com is owned by Priceline which of course is a US-based company.
Incidentally I have found same hotel is 10% higher on Expedia than on Booking but with such lousy guarantee program Expedia currently is running as a sham, I simply dont bother and take my business to booking.com.
In addition I also found Expedia's airfare on a UA itinerary I was looking at was $40 higher because it looks to me Expedia charges the 7.5% exercise tax twice.
