DENVER – July 19, 2022 – Engine, the world’s largest Lodging Performance Network, today announced it more than doubled bookings on its platform in the first half of 2022, year over year. The significant growth builds on the company’s Q1 2022 momentum, which also saw triple-digit growth.

“We are pleased to close the first half of the year with strong business results. We know this is a direct reflection of our focus on enhancing our product and delivering services that elevate our customer experience,” said Elia Wallen, founder and CEO, Engine. “Our performance sets us up well as we look to step onto the global stage in the very near future.”

More than 11,000 businesses to its customer base
More than 143,000 individual members
280,000 new hotels and lodging partners
