Visa and Trip.com are linking payments and travel discovery through a new partnership aimed at Asia Pacific travellers.
This move will combine Visa’s payments network with Trip.com’s travel ecosystem to support personalised recommendations, destination offers and smoother payments during trips.
Trip.com will also become a global Anchor Partner for Visa Destinations, a programme that connects Visa cardholders to curated travel experiences shaped by culture and local insights.
It will integrate Visa Destinations into its ecosystem and work with Visa on marketing and promotional campaigns in selected markets.
The companies will also explore premium travel benefits for Trip.com users and Visa Infinite cardholders, while looking at ways to support travel between Mainland China and the rest of Asia Pacific.
Visa’s Global Travel Intentions 2026 study found that 72% of respondents plan to travel within Asia in the coming months, while 73% of Asia Pacific travellers bring credit cards or mobile wallets on their trips.
Danielle Jin, Chief Marketing Officer, Asia Pacific at Visa, said,
“Our collaboration with Trip.com Group is built for what travellers want today, combining trusted global payments with unmatched travel discovery through our platforms.
We look forward to a successful collaboration with Trip.com Group, working closely to deliver more curated, rewarding, and seamless travel experiences that connect people to what they are most passionate about.”
Bo Sun, Chief Marketing Officer at Trip.com, said,
“At Trip.com Group, our mission is to inspire discovery and deliver seamless journeys — constantly innovating to create the perfect trip every time.
Through this strategic collaboration with Visa, we are advancing this mission in the Asia Pacific and beyond by integrating trusted payments capabilities, curated travel experiences, and expanded premium offerings across our one-stop travel ecosystem.”
