Visa Teams Up with Klook in Southeast Asia Travel Market

Visa Inc. (V) is expanding its presence in Southeast Asia's experience-led travel market through a new partnership with Klook, a platform that offers travel experiences. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding covering six markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

The agreement combines Klook's travel experiences platform with Visa's global payments network. The two companies will pursue joint creator programs, cardholder offers, and in-destination brand presence. Klook will also join Visa Destinations, enabling Visa cardholders to access travel experiences and related offers across the region.

This partnership comes as travelers increasingly prioritize experiences when planning trips. According to Visa's 2026 Global Travel Intentions study, 37% of Asia Pacific respondents plan trips around unique local experiences, compared with 29% globally.
