Agoda and TPO are aligning their strengths through this strategic partnership, combining TPO\u2019s intercity network with Agoda\u2019s global travel insights. By launching a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two organisations aim to support cities in transitioning from ad-hoc tourism promotion to data-informed, long-term stewardship of visitor economies. This approach positions tourism as a catalyst for urban resilience, cultural vitality, and inclusive growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cooperation will focus on three key pillars: leveraging data insights for informed decision-making, developing tourism professionals through capacity-building and leadership programmes, and launching destination marketing initiatives on Agoda\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism Promotion Organisation for Global Cities, Secretary General Kang Da-eun remarked: \u201cThis partnership represents a pivotal moment in repositioning tourism from a promotional activity to a core urban policy. Building on Agoda\u2019s global data and platform capabilities, TPO will support its member cities in developing more sophisticated and sustainable tourism strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agoda Chief Commercial Officer Damien Pfirsch stated: \u201cThrough this collaboration, we aim to leverage our digital travel platform to bolster city-level tourism strategies across global urban destinations. We are thrilled to announce this partnership and look forward to sharing best practices to help develop the tourism ecosystem across destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
