(Yicai Global) July 3 -- Alibaba’s travel booking platform Fliggy will deepen its partnership with Agoda to let its users access the 3.6 million global hotels and apartments listed by Agoda and Booking.Com.

The added inventory will provide Fliggy consumers with an extensive variety of offers at great prices, the Chinese travel agency announced recently.

The pair began cooperating in 2016 and Agoda has been earning a quickly widening share of revenue through Fliggy, its access point to the Chinese market, amid consumers' increasing interest to travel abroad after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The partnership with Fliggy continues to help Agoda make headway in the Chinese travel market, per Omri Morgenshtern, chief executive of the Singapore-headquartered accommodation booking platform.

Chinese consumers are eyeing destinations for a summer vacation. Sales of outbound travel products exceeded 200,000 units during the recent June 18 shopping festival, according to Fliggy.
