Agoda unveils Agoda Partner Portal as the refreshed platform's role in property management expands.

Agoda unveils Agoda Partner Portal as the refreshed platform's role in property management expands. 2026-08-17 09:00 Mobile workflows and market-localized tools sit alongside AI-assisted features to support timely decisions and a connected partner experience SINGAPORE, Aug. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Digital travel platform Agoda today unveiled the Agoda Partner Portal, a refreshed unified business management platform enabling accommodation partners to seamlessly manage property operations with accompanying performance insights and revenue-management tools. Formerly known as Yield Control System (YCS), the improved platform reflects Agoda's commitment to providing its partners with the digital tools and actionable insights and commercial capabilities to understand travel trends and respond more quickly to growth opportunities. Agoda Partner Portal As Asia's traveler base becomes more diverse, accommodation partners need clearer insights and more connected tools to adapt across source markets. Agoda's Tailored to Win report found that nearly eight in ten hotels at advanced stages of localization rely on digital travel platforms and online travel agencies (OTA) for information on cultural norms and guest expectations, while 73% of surveyed hoteliers use OTA partners for guest data insights. Against this backdrop, Agoda has been updating core workflows across property and room settings, content management, promotions, finance and more. This includes a refresh of the reservation interface that offers clearer booking information and guest contact visibility. Agoda has also improved promotion and rate-plan management, with greater control over how discounts are combined and multi-property views across calendar and availability tools. "Every accommodation partner, from a 500-room chain to a single guesthouse, is trying to do the same thing: reach the right traveler at the right moment and stay ahead of the demand. That's what we've built Agoda Partner Portal to do. Our partners are already telling us it's working - mobile app satisfaction scores have nearly doubled since 2024, with partners pointing to reservation and promotion management as standout improvements of the mobile experience," said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda. Beyond simplifying daily operations, Agoda Partner Portal also connects property performance insights with the commercial tools already available across Agoda's partner ecosystem. Turn guest feedback into faster property improvements Property insights such as customer reviews are enhanced through AI-powered features distilling thousands of guest reviews into clear, actionable summaries, bringing accommodation partners a concise view of what guests value most and where experiences can be sharpened. Curated review highlights also surface on property pages, giving prospective travelers a clearer picture of what makes each property stand out. Connect commercial insights to broader campaign reach Agoda Partner Portal links property performance data with existing commercial programmes across Agoda's ecosystem. Partners can access programmes such as Agoda Dynamic Rates (ADR+), which provides participating properties with data-led guidance as market conditions change. They can build on those efforts through other promotional campaigns such as the Agoda Mega Sale, which gives participating properties increased visibility during key travel-planning periods. Visualize strategic changes and spot the next opportunity Agoda Partner Portal has a feature that enables partners to compare selected indicators against a curated set of nearby properties, promptly surfacing periods where the property performance may warrant a closer look. Eligible properties can go further and access more automated, data-driven support through Agoda Intelligence, which allows partners to review market signals and consider data-led suggestions for dates up to 90 days ahead. Every recommendation is presented transparently for partners to verify - keeping decision-making firmly in their hands. Manage the properties from anywhere, in the way each market works Improved mobile workflows let partners handle bookings, availability, promotions and guest communications on the go. Agoda is also adapting the platform to regional operating needs- including KakaoTalk booking notifications for motels in South Korea. Future development will explore support for other familiar local messaging channels, including WhatsApp and WeChat. This partner-centric approach helps the portal fit more naturally into how accommodation businesses operate across different markets. "Running a successful property today requires balancing guest expectations with dynamic market conditions. Agoda's Partner Portal extranet gives us a comprehensive view of our business through real-time reservation information, promotional controls, revenue management tools, and actionable performance insights. The platform enables our team to make faster, data-driven decisions while maintaining operational efficiency and growing our visibility to travelers worldwide," shared Agung Pramudito, General Manager, Manhattan Hotel Jakarta, Indonesia.

Agoda launches ai-powered Room Grid Bot to help travelers decide which room to book.

Agoda launches ai-powered Room Grid Bot to help travelers decide which room to book. Published Aug 13, 2026, 12:00 PM SINGAPORE, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Digital travel platform Agoda has introduced the Room Grid Bot, an AI-powered chat assistant designed to help travelers decide which room to book. Available in the Agoda mobile app, the new tool recommends rooms suited to their needs. Agoda offers travelers a diverse breadth of room options when booking a hotel, with room types and offers varying by occupancy, cancellation terms, meal inclusions, and price. The Room Grid Bot addresses this by using travelers' current search details and the preferences they share in the conversation to recommend the most relevant options. These recommendations appear directly within the chat, helping travelers narrow down their choices without needing to compare every listing manually. Travelers can access the Bot from the room-selection page after tapping "Select room" on a hotel's property page in the Agoda app. They can start a conversation by tapping the "Need help choosing a room? Let AI help you" banner without leaving the room-selection page. Travelers can ask the Bot to find options with specific inclusions, such as free breakfast, or to answer relevant property questions, such as check-in times. The Bot also highlights a "Best pick," helping travelers identify a suitable room based on their preferences more easily. Idan Zalzberg, Chief Technology Officer at Agoda, said, "Choosing a hotel is only part of the booking decision. Travelers also need to find the right room for their trip, which can be challenging when many options are available. The Room Grid Bot helps narrow down those choices based on what travelers want and need, making it easier to identify and book the room that best suits their trip." The launch builds on Agoda's growing suite of AI-powered tools across the hotel booking journey. The Property AMA (Ask Me Anything) Bot answers accommodation-specific questions as travelers explore a property, while the Booking Form Bot addresses common questions during checkout. Together, the tools provide relevant support as travelers explore hotels, select rooms, and complete their bookings. Agoda continues to invest in technology that makes travel planning simpler, faster, and more intuitive. Agoda's offerings include over 6 million holiday properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all available on Agoda.com and through the Agoda mobile app. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Trusted Thailand expands travel safety framework.

Trusted Thailand expands travel safety framework. 22.07.2026 Thailand's Trusted Thailand certification combines verified business standards, booking-platform visibility and multilingual police support, integrating visitor safety from trip planning and payment to on-site emergency response. Trusted Thailand is expanding Thailand's visitor safety framework through certification standards, digital platforms and multilingual emergency support. The initiative gives travellers a visible indication that participating tourism businesses meet defined safety and service requirements. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) launched the programme with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports in November 2025. It covers hotels, restaurants, shopping centres, attractions and other tourism-related businesses across destinations nationwide. Participating operators undergo an assessment based on four main areas. These include general safety measures, secure payment systems, multilingual communication and accessible transport connections. General safety requirements cover measures such as CCTV systems and emergency response procedures. Meanwhile, the payment category focuses on secure and transparent transactions, including widely recognised platforms such as Alipay and WeChat Pay. The communication standards assess whether businesses can assist international visitors during emergencies. In addition, the transport component examines the availability, accessibility and maintenance of connections serving each establishment. Certification integrated into booking platforms. The Trusted Thailand initiative extends beyond physical certification at participating businesses. Partnerships with booking and travel platforms aim to make certified accommodation and tourism services identifiable during the trip-planning process. Platforms involved in the programme include Agoda, Trip.com and Meituan. Consequently, travellers can identify or filter participating properties before completing a booking. Agoda has also introduced QR code safety information in selected City Guides. The first material focused on flood preparedness, while the platform plans to add information covering further travel-related risks. This integration places safety information earlier in the customer journey. It also provides tourism businesses with an additional channel to communicate their compliance with recognised operational standards. Tourist Police app supports emergency response. Thailand's visitor safety system also includes the Thailand Tourist Police mobile application. The app is available free of charge for iOS, Android and Huawei devices and connects users with police assistance, translation services and tourism information. Discover more B2B travel news City & Local Guides Sea travel news Its SOS function connects travellers with the Tourist Police hotline on 1155 or uses GPS data to identify nearby officers. The service provides location-based assistance, while reported response times average approximately five minutes. The application supports communication in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Russian. Separately, the Tourist Police hotline operates around the clock and provides assistance in eight languages. Users can access real-time information about higher-risk locations and find the nearest police station. They can also document incidents, submit reports with translation support and receive location-specific travel advisories. Additionally, the application provides information about nearby attractions, accommodation and essential visitor services. The wider system integrates with Thailand's emergency numbers, including police, medical and rescue services. The browser-based "i lert u" platform provides another reporting channel. Travellers can transmit their location and incident details, allowing the Tourist Police to dispatch a patrol to the relevant area. Additional digital safety tools. Other mobile services provide complementary safety and communication functions. These include GeoSure for neighbourhood safety information, Signal for encrypted communication and Smart Traveler for government travel advisories. Life360 and WhatsApp also enable users to share their live location with personal contacts. These services operate independently from Thailand's official tourism safety infrastructure. Trusted Thailand combines business certification with digital visibility and emergency assistance. Therefore, the programme integrates operational standards, booking decisions, and on-site support into a single national visitor safety framework. Through the certification scheme and Tourist Police services, Thailand is adding formal safety infrastructure to its established tourism and hospitality offering. The programme also provides tourism operators and distribution platforms with a common system for communicating verified safety measures to international markets.

Agoda marks 11th Tech Camp Day with agentic AI focus.

Agoda marks 11th Tech Camp Day with agentic AI focus. July 18, 2026 BANGKOK, July 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Digital travel platform Agoda hosted the 11th edition of Tech Camp Day, its award-winning tech-focused social impact initiative designed to upskill high school and university students in emerging technology fields, in collaboration with Thailand's Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). Held over two days at Agoda's new One Bangkok office on 16 and 17 July, the program brought together more than 400 students from 12 universities, bringing Tech Camp Day's total reach to over 3,700 students since 2023. Professor Yodchanan Wongsawat, Ph.D., Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation (MHESI) of Thailand, delivered keynote remarks at Agoda's 11th Tech Camp Day. This edition of Agoda Tech Camp Day took a forward-looking approach to AI, introducing students to the shift from chat-based tools to more practical agentic AI applications that can support real-world problem-solving. Curated and led by Agoda software engineers, the workshop gave students hands-on exposure to AI use cases in writing, research, planning, and optimization, alongside practical training in safe and responsible AI use. Participants explored and tested real AI tools and agents in contexts directly relevant to academic and professional life, building both foundational understanding and practical confidence. Professor Yodchanan Wongsawat, Ph.D., Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation (MHESI) of Thailand, delivered keynote remarks at the event and expressed support for the initiative, saying, "Initiatives like Agoda's Tech Camp Day play an important role in developing Thailand's next generation of tech talent. By focusing on AI training and upskilling, programs like this equip our youth with the essential tools they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape and contribute to a more competitive digital economy for the nation." Damien Pfirsch, Chief Commercial Officer at Agoda, added, "At Agoda, we believe programs like Tech Camp Day can be instrumental in bringing education and industry closer together. A strong culture of learning and innovation is central to how we work at Agoda, and we see it as our responsibility to share our expertise in ways that help inspire young people and develop the technical foundations they need to succeed in the technology industry." Since its launch in 2023, Agoda Tech Camp Day has delivered workshops in AI applications, UX/UI design, and web development, designed to upskill students and encourage them to pursue further studies and careers in technology. The initiative has received recognition and support from a range of educational and governmental bodies, including the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and Thailand's Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI). The program has achieved a post-event satisfaction rate of over 90%, alongside documented improvements in participant knowledge and skills. In 2026, Agoda Tech Camp Day expanded its scope beyond workshops to also support digital access, with Agoda donating 170 laptops to Universiti Teknologi MARA in Malaysia to help enhance learning opportunities for students from underprivileged backgrounds.

Trip.com vs Agoda Philippines 2026: which books cheaper?

Trip.com vs Agoda Philippines 2026: which books cheaper? Trip.com usually wins on flights (it's built as a flight-first platform with better fare comparison tools); Agoda usually wins on hotels in Asia (deeper regional inventory and more aggressive member pricing). Most Filipino travelers end up needing both. This guide breaks down exactly where each platform wins so you're not overpaying by booking everything on one app out of habit. Trip.com vs Agoda, quick comparison. Both platforms cover flights, hotels, and activities, but each was built around a different core strength. Trip.com started as a flight and rail booking platform; Agoda started as a hotel booking platform. That founding DNA still shows in 2026. | Feature | Trip.com | Agoda | | Best for | Flights, trains | Hotels, regional stays | | Train ticket booking | Yes (Japan, China, Europe) | No | | Hotel inventory (PH provinces) | Moderate | Deep | | Loyalty/cashback | Trip Coins | AgodaCash | | Flight + hotel bundles | Yes, frequent | Limited | | 24/7 PH support | Yes | Yes | Trip.com's flight search pulls from a wider set of fare classes and budget carriers than Agoda, and its price-alert and fare-calendar tools make it easier to spot the cheapest departure date out of Manila, Cebu, or Clark. For international routes, Japan, Korea, the Middle East, and long-haul flights to the US or Europe, Trip.com's fare comparison consistently surfaces options Agoda's flight tab misses. Agoda's flight booking exists but is clearly the secondary feature, fewer fare options shown, less granular date flexibility tools. If flights are your main booking need, start on Trip.com. Hotels, Agoda's home turf. Agoda built its entire business on Asia-Pacific hotel inventory, and it shows in the Philippines specifically. Boutique resorts in Siargao, guesthouses in Coron, and mid-range hotels in Baguio or Vigan are far more likely to be listed, and competitively priced, on Agoda than on Trip.com. AgodaCash (earned on every booking, redeemable on future stays) and Agoda's frequent member-only discount pricing regularly beat Trip.com's listed rate for the same property. Trip.com's hotel inventory is stronger for major international cities (Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok) where it competes evenly with Agoda, but for Philippine domestic travel specifically, Agoda has the edge. Train tickets, only Trip.com has this. For Filipino travelers planning a Japan trip with Shinkansen legs, a China itinerary with high-speed rail, or a European multi-city trip by train, Trip.com is the only one of the two platforms that lets you book train tickets directly in the app, in English, with PHP pricing shown upfront. This alone makes Trip.com worth having installed even if Agoda remains your primary hotel app. The combined booking strategy. For most trips, the highest-value approach is flights on Trip.com, hotels on Agoda, then a final price check of the hotel on Trip.com before confirming, since Trip.com occasionally runs a flight-plus-hotel bundle that undercuts booking each leg separately. For trips involving Japan, Korea, or Europe rail travel, add Trip.com's train booking to the same itinerary rather than researching a separate local rail site. "Trip.com and Agoda aren't really competing for the same booking, one wins the flight, the other wins the hotel, and using both on the same trip is how you actually save." Your 5-step booking guide. Search flights on Trip.com first. Use the fare calendar to spot the cheapest departure date before locking in your travel window. Search the hotel on Agoda. Check member pricing and AgodaCash redemption, Philippine and regional properties are usually cheaper here than on Trip.com. Cross-check the hotel price on Trip.com. Occasionally a flight-plus-hotel bundle on Trip.com beats the separate Agoda booking. Takes 2 minutes to check. Book train tickets on Trip.com if your itinerary needs them. Japan Rail, China high-speed rail, and select European routes are bookable directly, skip the confusing local rail websites. Time your booking to a sale window. Both platforms run deeper discounts during 11.11, 12.12, and mid-year travel sales. Add your trip to your wishlist ahead of the sale date. Frequently asked questions. Is Trip.com or Agoda cheaper for flights? Trip.com generally wins on flights. It was built as a flight-booking platform first (under its former Ctrip identity) and its fare comparison across airlines, including budget carriers flying out of Manila, Cebu, and Clark, tends to surface lower prices than Agoda, which added flight booking as a secondary feature. For pure flight searches, check Trip.com first. Is Trip.com or Agoda cheaper for hotels in the Philippines? Agoda usually wins for Philippine and broader Southeast Asian hotel bookings. It has deeper regional inventory, more boutique and mid-range hotels in provincial areas like Siargao, Coron, and Baguio, plus AgodaCash and member pricing that regularly undercuts Trip.com on the same property. Does Trip.com ship, I mean operate, reliably in the Philippines? Yes. Trip.com (formerly Ctrip, based in China with global operations under Trip.com Group) has a dedicated Philippine Peso pricing option, English-language support, and 24/7 customer service. It's a legitimate, publicly traded travel company operating in the Philippines since the mid-2010s. Can I book trains on Trip.com from the Philippines? Yes, this is one of Trip.com's standout features that Agoda doesn't offer. Trip.com lets you book train tickets for Japan (JR lines, Shinkansen), China's high-speed rail, and various European rail networks directly through the app, useful for Filipino travelers planning multi-city trips in Japan, Korea, or Europe where local train booking sites are hard to navigate in English. Should I use Trip.com and Agoda together for the same trip? Yes, this is the smartest approach for most trips. Book flights on Trip.com (better fare comparison), then check Agoda for the hotel (better regional inventory and member pricing), and compare the same hotel's Trip.com price before confirming, sometimes Trip.com runs a flight-plus-hotel bundle discount that beats booking separately. Check Current Trip.com and Agoda Deals Active promo codes and discounts for both platforms, updated regularly on TipidNation. Related Reading
