Travel Giant Tiket.com Eyes Collaboration in Laos, Cambodia

This Week

UPDATED on 19 October at 12:54 PM

Jakarta-based online travel platform Tiket.com is exploring opportunities for collaboration and partnership in Laos and Cambodia as part of a broader effort to strengthen its presence across Southeast Asia.

While some reports suggested an imminent market entry, the company clarified that it is not launching operations in either country at this stage. Currently, Tiket.com’s platform already lists hotels and flights in Laos and Cambodia, allowing users to book accommodation and travel within both destinations.

Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer Gaery Undarsa said that Tiket.com views Southeast Asia as a single, integrated travel market and remains open to future expansion based on a deeper understanding of local consumer behavior and market dynamics.

Undarsa acknowledged that the smaller size of Laos’ online travel market presents distinct challenges. With only 40–50 percent of the population regularly booking travel online, initial investments in localized platforms may not immediately yield proportional returns.

To address these hurdles, Tiket.com plans to implement targeted strategies focused on local transport options, including bus services, as well as activities and events tailored to each market.

Founded in 2011, Tiket.com now serves over 50 million users and is connected to global travel networks, offering flight bookings, hotel accommodations, and activity packages across multiple countries.

The company’s growing focus on collaboration across the region reflects the expanding role of digital travel platforms in Southeast Asia and the potential for emerging markets like Laos and Cambodia to play a larger part in the regional tourism economy.
