AirAsia, Agoda join hands to aid travel recovery

AirAsia.com and Agoda have teamed up in a strategic partnership to help kickstart a return of travel across Southeast Asia.

The partnership sees the sharing of flight and hotel inventories to allow easier booking of travel bundles.

Customers can browse on AirAsia.com and book flights and hotels through the SNAP travel bundle service.

AirAsia.com customers will now have access to more than 600,0000 Agoda listed properties when browsing and booking through SNAP.

The tie-up also includes joint product marketing initiatives and membership perks.

"We are taking the opportunity during this downtime to work innovatively with strategic partners like Agoda, so we can better serve our guests’ travel and lifestyle needs. There are more strategic ventures in development, which we look forward to announcing when the time is right," said AsiaAsia Group CEO, Tony Fernandes said.

The two companies hope it will help stimulate travel with ‘greater convenience, choice and value’ for customers.

"It’s imperative we work innovatively with our partners to find solutions and do our part to stimulate demand and help the wider travel and tourism industry," said John Brown, CEO of Agoda.
