AGODA has launched GoLocal Tonight, a tool aimed at helping accommodation partners capitalise on the growing trend towards last minute domestic bookings in this post-COVID era.

With the uncertainty of new outbreaks, changes in health protocols and last-minute travel restrictions, Agoda’s data reveals a shift towards searches for same day check-ins, and it has developed a GoLocal Tonight product, offering even greater savings to satisfy this demand.

“COVID has created a new category of traveller, one who might previously have been content to hang out at home watching the latest Netflix blockbuster, but who is now so incentivised by the great last-minute deals that they act on impulse for a change of scene, deciding the same day to book an overnight stay,” explained Enric Casals, Regional Director Southeast Asia and Oceania, Agoda.

“The GoLocal Tonight product launching across Asia Pacific helps hotel and accommodation partners to access these travellers and utilise inventory that would otherwise remain unused. In exchange, Agoda travellers receive further discounts of up to 30% of their accommodation reservations.”
