As long as all these guys are doing are selling tickets / booking hotels / etc - they are doomed. They have high customer acquisition costs, low margin and zero loyalty. And, the suppliers have been closing in on them for 10 years now.
Expedia has the best chance, because they have TripAdvisor. Brings people to the Expedia world for information. Then they book.
