Agoda has teamed up with the Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) to expand its premium offerings across the globe. The partnership enables travellers internationally to access IHCL’s portfolio of properties through Agoda’s platform.
With India’s hospitality sector expected to reach US$542 billion by 2030, the partnership positions Agoda and IHCL to better serve the changing needs of international travellers.
The partnership brings 250 of IHCL’s operating properties – including iconic brands such as Taj, SeleQtions, Vivanta, Ginger, and the newly launched Claridges Collection – to Agoda’s global customer base. As Agoda celebrates its 20th birthday this year, the collaboration underscores the organisation’s continued focus on enhancing customer choice, value, experience and industry partnerships in key travel markets.
Through this alliance, Agoda connects IHCL to its growing user base of international and intra-regional travellers, particularly from Asia-Pacific and the Middle East – two regions where demand for culturally rich, luxury travel is rising fast. The collaboration is also aligned with IHCL’s strategy to grow its portfolio to over 700 hotels by 2030 and build deeper connections with the digitally savvy traveller.
“IHCL is an iconic name, and that says something in a market like India where hospitality is in a league of its own,” said Omri Morgenshtern, CEO at Agoda. “I’m thrilled to combine IHCL’s portfolio of heritage palaces, luxury city hotels, and more with Agoda’s tech-driven solutions and global reach.”
“This partnership with Agoda supports our ambition of driving global awareness for IHCL’s diverse brands,” added Puneet Chhatwal, managing director and CEO, IHCL. “As travel demand continues to grow, we are confident that Agoda’s strong presence in key international source markets and its cutting-edge technology will help accelerate our growth and deepen our customer reach.”
