Popular holiday hotspot of Thailand chosen to showcase new 'Trip.Best' feature

SINGAPORE,June 20,2022 -- Leading online travel provider Trip.com has chosen Thailand to launch its first ever 'Trip.Best' list to enable its global users to choose from the very best hotel experiences the country has to offer.

The new Trip.com feature for users exclusively curates an extensive range of hotels to provide them with the best options available to make the best of their trips - faster and easier. 'Trip.Best' will be rolled out to include the most popular destinations around the world but has begun by taking on Thailand to showcase its ease of use.

The first round 'Trip.Best' list introduces Thailand's top hotels to Trip.com's global users from the country's four most popular tourism destinations of Bangkok,Chiang Mai,Phuket and Samui. Thanks to comprehensive feedback from Trip.com users,professional evaluations and public praise,Trip.com has been able to create 24 easy to understand and navigate lists,arranged into eight specially chosen themes - Luxury,Upscale,Family,Instagram-worthy,Scenic,Local experience,Villas,and Gourmet & Shopping.

Using the new search option,they can choose hotels which feature everything from theme parks to rooftop bars and from snorkelling to spa experiences and ocean views,from among the more than 200 Thai hotels listed in 'Trip.Best'.

As one of the world's favourite holiday hotspots,exotic and beautiful Thailand has recovered rapidly since the country eased its travel restrictions earlier this year and Trip.com data shows there is soaring demand from its users wanting to travel to it for family holidays and trips for couples.

Schubert Lou,Chief Operating Officer of Trip.com said: "We want everyone to get the very best from Trip.com,which is why our new 'Trip.Best' feature will focus on Thailand - a world-renowned destination.
