SINGAPORE, 21 June 2021: Pelago, a travel experiences platform owned by Singapore Airlines connects consumers to global and local cultures and in-destination experiences.
Pelago offers inspiring content led by an in-house team of journalists, breaking the silos of online travel planning by centralising trip discovery and activity booking.
Every experience mentioned in the features is completely bookable, allowing consumers to build a customised itinerary based on what they read.
Consumers can also explore the site through different topics such as food and drink, art and culture, hidden gems and popular attractions. When international travel conditions eventually normalise, consumers will also be able to access collaborative planning tools on Pelago to plan their trip itineraries.
Experiences are carefully selected to meet the needs of consumers in the Asia-Pacific region, from group types such as singles, families, and couples. There are currently more than 200 curated experiences to choose from, and more activities will be added in the coming months.
Pelago also has a line-up of exclusive experiences for consumers, including the Dale Chihuly: Glass In Bloom exhibition at Gardens By The Bay. Pelago is the official Discovery Partner for the famed American artist’s major garden exhibition in Asia.
“Think of Pelago as a travel magazine that you can be inspired by and book directly on the platform. We have carefully selected a wide range of experiences that will appeal to consumers with diverse interests and passions. Although many aspects of travel have changed, we hope to enable people to embark on adventures and experience different cultures in the city we live in,” said Pelago CEO Siddharth Shanker.
Pelago ensures hassle-free bookings with flexible cancellations and refund policies, with all activities offered in line with the government’s latest guidelines. In addition, KrisFlyer members can pay for their bookings directly on the platform with KrisFlyer miles. They can also earn KrisFlyer miles — one mile for every SGD spent. More information on Pelago’s KrisFlyer mile redemption programme can be found here.
Consumers can now sign up and enjoy a 10% discount on their first booking at pelago.co. The discount is valid for one-time use and is capped at SGD10 per booking.
Pelago offers a variety of different activities to connect experience-seekers to their passions and diverse cultures, from food and spirits to nature, wildlife, and family-friendly activities.
