Tripadvisor is a global travel platform used for hotel, tour, and attraction bookings and reviews. Rights groups have long criticized the company for hosting listings in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, despite widespread recognition that settlements violate international law. In 2020, the UN human rights office included Tripadvisor in its database of businesses involved in settlement-related activities.
Tripadvisor lists hotels and attractions in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, giving economic support and visibility to sites built on occupied land. Amnesty International has documented how these listings normalize settlement tourism, while the UN human rights office formally named Tripadvisor in its 2020 database of settlement-linked businesses. The company’s stance is that “listings do not equal endorsement” and that it will not delist active businesses — a policy that leaves settlement tourism firmly on its platform.
