Looking back
For all of us at Agoda, 2020 has been a year of change, love, hope, and above all, of coming together. While the journey had obstacles, we are proud and incredibly grateful to have seen it through thanks to the resilience of Agodans who championed our values. We are also grateful for the thoughtfulness of our partners, and the support of our customers worldwide. As we reflect and prepare for the new year, here’s a look back at the year that was 2020.

A message from our CEO
It hasn't been an easy year for us at Agoda, but we pulled through, and I have got a whole lot of people to thank for it. First of all, our hotel partners who supported us, second our customers and travellers around the world who continued to believe in us, last but most certainly not the least: all the Agoda employees.

Talent Acquisition Partner
Due to the global pandemic, it was not easy to pick an on-site volunteering opportunity but I wanted to do something and feel connected to a wider cause during this period. I was happy to discover that our internal give back portal also offered several virtual volunteering activities and I chose to transcribe documents for the Smithsonian library. Read the full story.
