Klook and Mastercard partner to enhance Asia Pacific travel experiences

Klook, an Asia Pacific experiences platform, and Mastercard have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance travel experiences for consumers in the region. The partnership focuses on three strategic pillars: increasing cardholder value, providing new travel and lifestyle opportunities, and advancing innovative payment experiences.

The collaboration follows findings from Klook’s Travel Pulse 2026 research, which indicates that travelers in the Asia Pacific region are increasingly prioritizing experience-led journeys. The research noted that 73% of travelers are willing to visit lesser-known cities for unique events, and 23% choose destinations based on specific activities rather than traditional locations.

To address these trends, the partnership will introduce exclusive discounts and privileges for Mastercard cardholders, particularly ahead of the year-end travel period. The initiative aims to combine Klook’s experience-based platform with Mastercard’s global payment infrastructure to streamline travel planning and value.
