Due to the outbreak of the epidemic, the global economic situation has been greatly affected, among which the two most serious impacts are the fluctuations of the global financial market and the regression of the global tourism industry, whether it is the sharp decline of the stock market or the foreign exchange market, or the travel ban of many countries and the suspension of major airlines. All of these have led to severe turmoil in the global economy, so how to recover the economy has become a particularly critical global issue. In this paper, the financial statements of two well-known travel companies, Expedia and TCOM, are theoretically analyzed and calculated. It can be clearly seen that the post-epidemic economic recovery is remarkable when the epidemic is in progress, and the two companies are expected to reach the pre-epidemic peak point or even exceed the peak point in the next five years through discounted cash flow calculations.
