Today Booking.com, the global leader in connecting travellers with the widest choice of incredible places to stay, announced the addition of Hong Kong to its Booking Experiences product. The ultimate technology response to take the friction out of the in-destination experience, Booking Experiences, empowers travellers to discover the best a destination has to offer, all via their smartphone and includes hassle-free payment, priority queueing where available and exclusive discounts for Booking.com customers.
Latest Booking Experiences Facilitates Hassle-free Journeys for Tourists
Unlike other experience-seeking tools, Booking Experiences is managed via a personalised landing page for each customer and does not rely on or redirect to 3rd-party websites. Once travellers have booked their stay in Hong Kong or any of the other cities where the product is available, they receive an invitation email granting them booking access to all participating venues and attractions via their own unique QR code, automatically linked to their credit card of choice. Booking Experiences eliminates the need to book in advance or wait in lines to buy tickets for many tours and experiences—customers can simply show up to the attraction, scan their smartphone code and enjoy.
Travellers can view the full list of available things to do in advance or simply explore on the go once they arrive. For ultimate flexibility and convenience, travellers only pay for those experiences they choose to take advantage of, with the freedom to decide in the moment and the peace of mind that comes with knowing they are getting the best deal.
“We’re constantly exploring new ways to leverage technology in order to facilitate seamless and enjoyable travel experiences for our customers at every stage of their journey and with Booking Experiences, we’re doing just that,” said Ram Papatla, Vice President of Global Experiences at Booking.com. “Deciding what to do while you’re travelling can be an extremely time-consuming and stressful task that takes away from your overall experience in a destination. With Booking Experiences, we’ve curated the top things to do Hong Kong and elsewhere, negotiated great deals for our customers, worked with our partners to offer an exceptional customer experience and made it simple for customers to simply walk up and enjoy whatever they want to do, whenever they want to do it.”
