Visa Inc. has signed a memorandum of understanding with Klook to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia's experience-led travel market across six markets: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Under the agreement, the two companies will pursue joint creator programs, cardholder offers and in-destination brand presence, and Klook will join Visa Destinations, giving Visa cardholders access to travel experiences and related offers across the region. The partnership could expand Visa's role in travel beyond payments by connecting cardholders with trip inspiration, experiences and offers through Klook. Visa's 2026 Global Travel Intentions study found that 37% of Asia Pacific respondents plan trips around unique local experiences, compared with 29% globally, while Klook's Travel Pulse 2026 found that more than half of Asia Pacific travelers no longer start planning with a fixed destination and 23% begin with a specific activity. In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Visa's cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe increased 12% year over year on a constant-dollar basis, while travel-related cross-border volume climbed 10%, and Klook's Kreator Program, with more than 30,000 creators across 88 markets, gives Visa another channel to engage travelers before and during their trips.
