Trip.com receives IATA GoGlobal accreditation

Online travel platform Trip.com recently received the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) GoGlobal accreditation.

IATA GoGlobal is the gold standard for travel agency validation and this marks a milestone that recognises Trip.com’s ability to operate and work with global airlines across multiple markets.  

This achievement follows Trip.com’s recent entry into IATA’s Strategic Partnership Program, strengthening relationships with key industry stakeholders. 

The decision to join was driven by Trip.com’s commitment to enhancing customer experience and staying at the forefront of product development and new technologies in the travel industry. 

Looking ahead, Trip.com is excited to deepen cooperation with IATA to support industry innovation and shape the future of travel, creating a more connected and convenient journey for all.

Boosting connectivity and convenience

Trip.com Group vice-president for its global flights business and Travix CEO Chee Teong Ooi said: “We are thrilled to have obtained IATA’s GoGlobal Accreditation as it affirms our capability to comply with multi-country financial criteria. As we continue to innovate and collaborate with IATA, we aim to enhance connectivity and convenience, providing an exceptional travel experience for everyone.”

IATA director for financial settlement operations Juan Antonio Rodriguez formally welcomed Trip.com on its conversion to the GoGlobal accreditation level. 

Rodriguez said: “IATA accreditation allows travel agents to connect more conveniently with a wide range of travel industry partners, simplify their business relationship with airlines, and enhances their credibility with airlines and their customers. Given the scale of their operations around the world, we are delighted that Trip.com recognised the value in converting from multiple GoStandard accreditations to one at the GoGlobal level.”
