Agoda has implemented improvements to its booking platform, including stricter compliance standards for third-party suppliers, an AI-based trouble detection tool, and a 24/7 support service.
This move comes in response to demands from the Japan Tourism Agency, following reports of troubles with bookings on Agoda's platform from both bookers and hotels.
Improved trust and accountability, including strengthened penalties against violations, are key aspects of the new contract terms.
