Tiqets, the online platform for cultural and leisure experiences in Europe & North America, and Klook, a travel and leisure e-commerce platform in Asia Pacific, have announced a strategic partnership to connect their supply channels, offering consumers a world-class supply of cultural and leisure experiences.
Both Tiqets and Klook are renowned within the travel industry for their booking technology and commitment to helping consumers around the world experience the best museums and attractions at the tap of a screen. Through their partnership, customers can now use both platforms to book an expanded range of experiences available through either Klook or Tiqets. With this integration in place, museums, attractions and tour operators working with Tiqets and Klook can significantly increase their reach, and consumers will be able to easily book thousands of unforgettable experiences wherever they travel.
Luuc Elzinga, President and Founder of Tiqets said, “We are thrilled to be partnering up with Klook, one of the most impressive OTAs in the industry. Through this partnership, our network of more than 4,000 of the best museums, attractions and tour operators that provide guided tours at these museums will benefit from greater visibility in the APAC market, and Tiqets will benefit from new supply that Klook already has connected.”
As the travel industry enters its rebound phase after a two-year global pandemic, both companies have made a great comeback. Over the summer months, Tiqets saw a 220% surge in bookings in Europe and the UK alone. Similarly for Klook, the company has seen outbound bookings grow eleven times in the same period compared to earlier in the year, signalling that the travel bug is stronger than ever. With the end-of-year holiday season on the horizon and the partnership underway, another impressive increase in bookings is expected.
Wilfred Fan, Klook Chief Commercial Officer said, “This partnership with Tiqets opens new doors for both groups of customers to enjoy instant and seamless access to the widest selection of attractions and experiences across Asia Pacific and Europe. Klook has gone from strength to strength during the pandemic, and we’ve quadrupled the number of activities on our platform over the last two years in anticipation of travel recovery. We will continue to work closely with our merchants to accelerate their recovery and reach even more customers around the world.”
