The company began as Ctrip in Shanghai in 1999. It built an online and call-center travel booking operation during the expansion of China's internet and domestic tourism markets. Ctrip listed American depositary shares on Nasdaq in 2003.

Ctrip expanded through acquisitions and investments. It combined interests with Qunar and built an international booking operation around Trip.com. In November 2016, it announced an agreement to acquire Skyscanner Holdings for approximately £1.4 billion. The deal completed on December 9, 2016, and Skyscanner's management continued operating the Edinburgh-based service independently within the group.

The company adopted the Trip.com Group name in 2019 and changed its Nasdaq ticker to TCOM. It completed a secondary listing in Hong Kong in 2021 under stock code 9961.

Online travel platforms face scrutiny over ranking transparency, cancellation terms, pricing disclosures, and the use of customer data. Trip.com Group also operates across jurisdictions with different data and consumer-protection rules. The group publishes risk disclosures through its annual filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
