Travel Weekly has revealed its annual Power List, highlighting the world's biggest sellers of travel.

When sending out its survey this past March, Travel Weekly raised the global annual sales baseline from $110 million to $125 million, with as many as 70 companies exceeding that threshold.

Moreover, over two dozen companies reported achieving more than $1 billion in sales.

2025's listed companies accounted for more than $450 billion in sales. About half of the 70 companies reported growth rates of 3 percent to 15 percent from 2023 to 2024.

Here's a closer look at this year's most powerful agencies, with rankings based on each company's 2024 sales.

10 Most Powerful Travel Agencies in 2025

Booking Holdings, known for popular consumer-facing brands such as Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda, Kayak and OpenTable, maintains its stranglehold on the top spot, reporting $166 billion in sales last year. That figure is up from $150.63 billion in 2023 and $121 billion in 2022.

2. Expedia Group

Expedia Group saw total sales jump from $104.08 billion to $110.92 billion. Nonetheless, the OTA featuring brands such as Expedia, Hotels.com, Travelocity, Vrbo, Trivago and Hotwire, among others, still has ways to go to catch rival Booking.

Rounding out a top four that's identical to 2024's Power List is BCD Travel, a privately held B2B travel management company reaching more than 170 countries. Sales reached $22.9 billion last year, climbing significantly from $20.3 billion in 2023.

5. Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd.

6. CWT

CWT, which is expected to be acquired by rival Amex Global Business Travel by the end of 2025, slid one spot from fifth to sixth in 2025. The company's sales dipped slightly last year, falling from $15.8 billion in 2023 to $15.2 billion in 2024.

8. American Express Travel

American Express Travel secured approximately $10.55 billion in sales last year, holding steady at eighth on the Power List for 2025. The full-service and lifestyle services provider for American Express cardholders did not complete a survey, however, so Travel Weekly estimated its 2024 sales figure.
