As the world opens up and pandemic restrictions easing, ‘revenge travel’ has become a common sentiment among wanderlusts.
With all the planning that comes with traveling, leading travel and experiences platform Klook and Philippines’ undisputed mobile wallet giant GCash have signed on a partnership to provide a hassle-free way of booking and accessing 490,000 travel-related products from over 1,000 destinations.
At a recent intimate event last September 12, 2022, at The Gallery by Chele, Klook and GCash announced their partnership led by CS Soong, VP for Global Corporate Development, and Michelle Ho, General Manager for the Philippines, Thailand, & Vietnam. For GCash’s signatories, those present were Ren Ren Reyes, Chief Commercial Officer, Luigi Reyes, VP and Head of Commercial Sales and Operations, and Macky Limgenco, AVP for Enterprise.
Klook is one of the leading travel and experience platforms for sought-after lifestyle experiences that consumers can get anytime, anywhere. Klook has been strengthening their presence in the Philippines, and has expanded globally beyond just giving experiences to their consumers—reaching out to hotels, car rentals, insurance, and transportation providers.
Michelle Ho, General Manager of Klook Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, mentioned that the continuous growth of Filipino travelers have “truly astounded” them. Now that restrictions have been eased, and with more Filipinos now more than willing to spend for travel, they’re seeing an increase in the volume of bookings they’ve received for popular local travel destinations and attractions.
Paired with the Philippines’ No 1 e-wallet and app that lets users pay their bills, buy mobile load, send money, and shop all in just one app, Klook is now able to reach out to their Filipino audience with an easier and more seamless transaction through GCash’s GLife.
GCash is more than eager and excited to finally be able to offer Klook’s products and services on their app, with Macky Limgenco, GCash’s AVP for Enterprise saying that users will be able to book with Klook from their app in just 3 clicks: from GCash, just choose GLife, then from the list of stores choose Klook, and then choose whatever products you want.
The highlight of the event was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Klook Philippines and GCash’s GLife.
Traveling has always been easy through Klook, with travel activities for both domestic and cross border destinations being offered on the app. Whether you’re just staying in Manila, or going to popular local destinations like Boracay, Tagaytay, Batangas, or even outside the country like Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Klook is sure to deliver with their multitude of options just awaiting you!
