Agoda and Singapore Tourism Board signed a three-year MOU extending a joint campaign into data sharing and AI collaboration. The deal targets short-haul travelers and supports Singapore's Tourism 2040 ambitions through platform reach and traveler insights.
Agoda signed a three-year partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board on Tuesday, extending a joint marketing push into data sharing and technology development for the city-state's travel sector.
The memorandum of understanding, signed by Agoda CEO Omri Morgenshtern and STB chief Melissa Ow, formalizes a collaboration that began with a May 2026 campaign. That campaign lifted short-haul bookings to Singapore during a period of global travel disruption, with hotel partners in the city-state reporting stronger demand from regional markets, both sides said.
STB chief Ow described the renewal as a chance to apply Agoda's traveler data and platform reach toward Singapore's Tourism 2040 strategy. "The renewed collaboration presents the opportunity to tap on Agoda's platform reach, traveler insights and technology capabilities to strengthen Singapore's destination appeal in the digital space," she said.
Morgenshtern pointed to the company's AI and analytics tools as the core of the expanded commitment. "We're excited to bring our AI and analytics capabilities to this partnership, enabling STB to reach travelers more precisely while supporting the innovation priorities that benefit the entire Singapore tourism ecosystem," he said.
The agreement covers three areas: destination marketing, data and technology cooperation, and industry capability building. It runs through early 2029.
Singapore's tourism sector has been rebuilding traffic since the pandemic-era reopening, with the STB targeting 18 million visitor arrivals in 2026 -- above the 16.5 million recorded in 2024. The country competes with regional hubs such as Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur for short-haul leisure travelers, a segment Agoda's platform concentrates on.
