The establishment of this partnership is an effort by airasia Superapp to strengthen the long-term potential of its travel business vertical. This is in line with the e-Conomy SEA 2022 research by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Company, which predicts positive growth in Southeast Asia’s digital economy, especially in the online travel business, which is estimated to reach a Gross Merchandise Value of US$44 billion or more than IDR 646 trillion in 2025.

This allows airasia Superapp to optimise our whole ecosystem to benefit each of our hotel partners to reach the right target market,” she added.
