Agoda

Agoda (agoda.com) is an online hotel reservations service which specializes in securing the lowest discount hotel prices in Asia. Agoda is part of Priceline.com. Based in Singapore with operations in Bangkok and the Philippines, Agoda's network includes 7,000 hotels in Asia and more than 45,000 worldwide. The team behind Agoda is a multinational one that shares a passion for travel. They have a staff of 200 professionals that aim to provide a first-rate reservation service that uniquely combines local knowledge and local connections to provide the best hotel deals to both business and leisure travelers.

The Agoda team, which includes Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Australian, Indian, American, and European nationals, came together in Bangkok and Singapore to build a better online travel service that would meet the needs of fellow travelers and would promote and encourage travel and its benefits. Agoda is run, owned and managed by people who care about travel and have committed their lives to it. Agoda's staff wanted to build a different kind of company with a world-class reservations service and knowledgeable, friendly 24/7 live customer service. They have thus offered their local connections and knowledge to offer the customer great deals by offering more hotels and a user-friendly internet experience.

"GO" is the root of AGODA! The word 'agoda' doesn't mean anything exotic. It came about by accident. The team worked to think of a name, which was proving difficult, particularly because some of them didn't have English as their first language. They found Agoda on a list of domain names for sale and someone suggested a catchy phrase: "Agoda where I wanna go to!" What he had meant was "I go to wherever I want to go". The first word sort of stuck and now they think of it as a global slang for "I go to."

The name of the company is new, but the company is not really a new one. A lot of websites have tied up with Agoda to provide inventory and also provide first rate customer service as well. Their mission is to be always reachable and always connected.

The Agoda Mission

The core belief of Agoda is that through travel, they can open our minds to new ideas, new cultures, and new ways of thinking. Whether for business or pleasure, to the next city or the farthest continent, it's connecting to different people and different ways of thinking that's important to them. Agoda tries to work to offer the insider's price, so the customer can travel farther and more often.
