Traveloka partners with HKTB

JAKARTA, April 5 (Bernama) --Traveloka, Southeast Asia’s leading travel platform, announced a strategic collaboration with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) to strengthen its position as a trusted travel partner in Southeast Asia.

As part of the collaboration, Traveloka will showcase the charm and beauty of Hong Kong to travelers across Southeast Asia and invite them to experience everything the city has to offer. This collaboration is expected to boost tourism growth in Hong Kong further and position the city as a premier destination for Southeast Asian travelers.

Hong Kong’s tourism sector has steadily climbed since the reopening of international borders. Data released by HKTB showed that from January to December 2023, the number of international tourists arriving in Hong Kong surged to 33 million, marking a 60-fold increase compared to the same period in 2022[1]. Over 3.7 million of these visitors came from Southeast Asian and East Asian countries.

Caesar Indra, President of Traveloka, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration with HKTB, stating, "Hong Kong is among the popular destinations on our platform, with sales of flight tickets to the city almost quadrupling in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Establishing a partnership between Traveloka and HKTB will further reinforce our dedication to promote global destinations on our platform, and encourage travelers to explore new experiences.”

Liew Chian Jia, Regional Director, Southeast Asia of Hong Kong Tourism Board, said, "Partnering with Traveloka is pivotal for us as it unlocks the tourism potential in Hong Kong and helps us understand consumers better. Therefore, we aspire to this collaboration not only to attract more travelers from Southeast Asia to explore the charms of Hong Kong but also to contribute positively to the aviation and hospitality industries in the region."
