Singapore On May 19, the digital travel agency Agoda will celebrate its 20th birthday, commemorating 20 years of enabling tourists to explore the globe at a lower cost. Agoda will launch one of its largest sales campaigns to commemorate the event, offering worldwide discounts of up to 60% from May 7–20 and up to 70% on May 21.

The historic occasion highlights Agoda’s efforts to revolutionise the travel industry by enabling millions of tourists to experience the globe at a lower cost. In addition to celebrating Agoda’s 20 years of leading travel innovations, the sale offers clients the opportunity to reserve ideal vacations at reduced costs.

Although it started off as a modest business in Phuket, Thailand in 2002, Michael Kenny and Rob Rosenstein formally formed Agoda in Singapore in 2005. Then, in 2007, Booking Holdings (later Priceline) purchased Agoda.

With its headquarters in Singapore, Agoda has grown over the years to become one of the fastest-growing online travel agencies globally and a top IT employer in Southeast Asia, with over 7,000 employees across 27 countries.

With 87 million app downloads a year, according to Data.ai, Agoda has established itself as a top travel marketplace over the last 20 years, offering fantastic bargains on a worldwide network of more than 5 million properties and 130,000 airline routes in more than 200 cities.

By making investments in top-notch technology and using data-driven insights to provide its users with a personalised experience, Agoda keeps up its commitment to its customers. With its 39 languages and more than 100 different payment options, Agoda enables travellers to make flexible and simple reservations in a variety of locations.

“We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our 20 years of helping our customers see the world for less than by hosting a sale packed with even more great deals,” said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President of Supply at Agoda. “Our goal throughout the years has always been to make travel more accessible and easy for our consumers so they may have amazing experiences. To make sure we are in a strong position to carry out the same function for the next 20 years and beyond, we are keeping up our investments in new technologies for our platform. Naturally, this isn’t just about us; we’re also honouring Agoda’s many years of collaborations with lodging, travel, and entertainment companies in the area. We are very conscious of and appreciative of the fact that we collaborate with some of the world’s greatest partners to provide our clients with a wealth of life-changing experiences.”
