PayPal collaborates with Thai Airways for ‘more seamless’ bookings

PayPal, a leading global online payments company, has announced its collaboration with national airline Thai Airways (THAI).

PayPal said foreign travellers looking to travel to Thailand or purchase tickets on THAI can now do so in a more convenient way through PayPal.

It said the collaboration is part of PayPal’s commitment to help local Thai merchants gain access to the global economy.

“For Thailand’s travel industry, the opportunity lies in better serving the needs of the growing group of Connected Travellers, who expects a smooth online journey from the planning to the final booking of the trip,” the company said in a press release. “This is especially important for Thailand, a major tourist destination that has seen a steady

increase in numbers since 1997 and which recorded an all-time high of over 30 million visitors in 2016.

“This collaboration with Thai Airways will provide travellers with a faster and more convenient way of booking their travels online.”

Teerapol Chotichanapibal, THAI executive vice president, said the travel industry is rapidly changing, with more tourists looking to make their travel arrangements online, either through their laptops or their phones and tablets.

“This is apparent through our integration of PayPal as a payment solution on our online platform, as we’ve seen increases in transaction volume from travellers coming from Germany (19 per cent), Italy (10 per cent) and the United States (5 per cent).”

Rahul Shinghal, general manager for PayPal Southeast Asia, said Thailand is well known for its vibrant tourism industry.

However, he said as travellers evolve so must businesses.

“Today’s digital traveller is demanding simplicity, convenience and trust when making travel bookings, and mobile is the way to go,” he said. “If businesses can offer a simple and secure payment experience that allows travellers to make online bookings seamlessly anywhere they want, they are set for take-off.”
