MANILA, Philippines - TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site, and MasterCard announced the launch of the new MasterCard Travel Hub, accessible via www.tripadvisor.com/MasterCardTravelOffers.
This is the first time MasterCard and TripAdvisor are working together to provide users in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa with curated destination guides and experiences based on their travel destination.
MasterCard offers and promotions for travel, dining, shopping and entertainment are currently available in five key destinations — Beijing, Honolulu, London, New York and Singapore.
Users from the region heading to Hong Kong, South Africa, Thailand and Vietnam can also expect to enjoy similar offers and promotions.
When TripAdvisor users are searching for travel information on any of the five destinations, they will be able to click on customized MasterCard banners that will then take them to the MasterCard Travel Hub to learn more and redeem offers.
The MasterCard Travel Hub will also include TripAdvisor traveler reviews and ratings for hotels, attractions and restaurants for the five destinations.
It also includes recommended itineraries for each destination, enabling travelers to continue researching their trip while looking out for the best MasterCard offers.
