Agoda.com, Asia’s global hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed priceline.com Inc., announced new partnerships with Taiwan’s leading air carriers, China Airlines and EVA Air.
Agoda.com offers more than 140,000 hotels worldwide and is known for great coverage in major cities across China, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore – all popular destinations with Taiwanese customers. All Agoda.com hotels provide instant confirmation on bookings, meaning customers do not have to wait for a response from either Agoda.com or the hotel, making the hotel booking process quick and easy.
In an interview with the Taiwanese magazine, Travelrich, regarding the partnership, CEO and President of Agoda.com Mr. Robert Rosenstein said, “Customers visiting the leading carriers’ websites in Taiwan can easily access Agoda’s hotels and earn airline loyalty points. We hope that makes online booking even more convenient in Taiwan.”
Travelers who book a hotel stay through Agoda.com also earn Agoda Rewards points worth 4-7% of the cost of their stay. Rewards points are redeemable for future hotel bookings at any ‘Agoda Special Rate’ hotel and can be saved up to pay for an entire hotel stay.
To ensure customers get the most value out of their stay, Agoda.com features reviews which offer up-to-date critical appraisals on hotels. Customers who book a room through Agoda.com can submit a hotel review on completion of their stay. These reviews help other travelers make more informed choices when making their booking, as well as providing greater insight into the chosen destination.
In the Travelrich interview, Mr. Rosenstein also highlighted the importance of social media in staying connected with customers. He remarked, “The Agoda Facebook page now has more than 50,000 fans, and many use the Facebook wall to ask for advice or share travel tips. Through fans’ posts we can keep in touch with travel trends and identify where Agoda can implement possible improvements and developments.”
