GCash and Klook Partnership To Offer Seamless Booking Experience For Travelers

With eased up restrictions for outbound travel to Singapore and Thailand, more Filipino travelers are clamoring for new experiences in these countries.

A new partnership between GCash, the country’s No. 1 E-Wallet, and Klook allows Filipinos to access over 490,000 experiences across 1,000 destinations and easily purchase these all within just a few taps through the GLife icon on their GCash app.

Klook has observed a continuous upward trend in bookings both locally and internationally. For domestic travel, Klook Philippines has already outperformed its pre-pandemic bookings as seen in the leap in bookings for local destinations like Boracay, Tagaytay, Subic and Clark. For cross-border travel, a 5,962 percent growth in the first half of 2022 vs. 2021 has been recorded, the majority of which are bookings to Singapore, Thailand, and South Korea.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with GCash to connect Filipino travellers to even more ways to satiate their wanderlust. The past 2 years have been gruelling for the tourism industry as a whole, but with many destinations easing their restrictions, we are optimistic that the growth we are seeing now will continue in the next coming months. This demand for travel among Filipinos drives Klook to continue pushing boundaries in terms of expanding the variety of experiences we can offer for both domestic and international travel,” said Michelle Ho, General Manager of Klook Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Present during the contract signing are Michelle Ho, CS Soong, Ren Ren Reyes GCash CCO, Luigi Reyes, GCash VP and head of commercial sales and operations, Macky Limgenco

Starting October 3, 2022, travelers may now book the best of what Klook has to offer such as hotels, experiences, activities, and transportation through GLife, a mini-program integrated within the GCash app, that allows customers live the good life everyday by making adulting easier and more enjoyable - with constant vouchers and deals exclusively available from their growing merchants to GLife customers.

“We’re very excited for this partnership with Klook. We always look forward to expanding our partnerships with brands that provide amazing experiences and services to our customers. Currently we see Filipinos eager to travel since restrictions have eased up and this is just another way for us to be able to make this even easier for them - in just a few taps you can now book your travel experiences and conveniently pay for it all in one app, even giving you the option to pay lighter when our GLife customers avail of the GCredit or GGives functions,” said Macky Limgenco, GCash AVP for Enterprise Sales.
