Visa travel industry partnerships in Asia-Pacific

Overview

Visa has initiated several strategic partnerships across the Asia-Pacific region to capitalize on the growing trend of ‘experience-led travel.’ In late September 2026, Visa entered a partnership with Klook across six Southeast Asian markets—Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam—to integrate travel experiences with Visa’s payment network.

Following this, Visa signed a three-year agreement with the Singapore Tourism Board to enhance the nation’s appeal as a global destination. Under this arrangement, Singapore will join the Visa Destinations global travel programme in November 2026. The collaboration aims to provide cardholders with exclusive benefits and utilize shared spending and visitor data to identify high-growth market segments and encourage repeat tourism.
