Leading digital travel platform Agoda has partnered with Asia's leading buy now pay later platform Atome in Thailand to offer flexible buy now pay later options for domestic travel bookings in Thailand.
Under the partnership, residents in Thailand can pay for their domestic travel accommodations in three zero interest payments with no additional charges or service fees by selecting Atome as a checkout option on Agoda Thailand's mobile app or website. To pay, users first have to download Atome's app and register an account, before selecting Atome as the checkout payment option. Agoda is already partnering with Atome in several other Southeast Asian markets like Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines.
Atome Thailand General Manager Poompong Tancharoenphol said, "Domestic tourism and hospitality sector has been one of the hardest hit due to Covid19. As Thailand gradually opens up to international travel again, we're happy to launch our partnership with Agoda in Thailand to boost domestic travel to revive the local Thai tourism and hospitality industry. What this means is that Thai residents can now pay for their domestic travel holidays and staycations on Agoda's website or mobile app with Atome, just in time for their year-end travel plans."
