Tropical beginnings
Agoda’s journey began with a shared passion for travel and a vision to disrupt the online travel industry. Lifelong friends and entrepreneurs Robert Rosenstein and Michael Kenny envisioned an Asia-focused online travel company that could challenge the established Western giants.
In the early 2000s, they decided to join forces, with Robert investing in an early travel start-up Michael had established while he was living in Phuket, Thailand. In 2005, the business was rebranded, and Agoda was officially launched.
Since then, we’ve grown into a preferred travel platform in Asia and beyond, enabling millions of travelers to experience the world through our extensive offerings.
