Key Developments in Partnerships

Leading Malaysian integrated resort Resorts World Genting (RWG) and global travel services provider Trip.com Group have solidified their collaboration by signing two significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at boosting inbound travel to Malaysia.

The agreements, effective from July 9th, underscore both parties’ commitment to providing seamless and elevated experiences for international tourists, leveraging Trip.com Group’s global audience as RWG’s main online travel agency (OTA).

This collaborative effort is also a strategic move in anticipation of Visit Malaysia 2026, supporting Tourism Malaysia’s aim to position the country as a premier travel destination.

RWG acknowledges the vital role Trip.com Group plays in driving growth in room night sales and theme park bookings, which has positively influenced inbound tourism metrics in recent years.

Direct API Integration

A notable feature of this partnership is the introduction of the first-ever direct API integration between Trip.com Group and RWG’s booking systems for both hotels and theme parks. This innovation will allow real-time updates on inventory, instant confirmations, and consistent rate parity across both platforms, enhancing the overall user experience.

Trip.com Group clients will receive exclusive offers, facilitating their planning for visits to RWG, while a series of targeted marketing campaigns will aim to increase RWG’s visibility among international travelers, particularly in the Asian market.

The dual MoUs signify a new era, one marked by strategic synergy, technological advancement, and a unified vision for the future of travel, presenting a powerful alliance that is set to redefine travel experiences across Southeast Asia.
