ecommerceloka had the opportunity to represent Indonesia at Agoda Ascend 2026, held on June 30 – July 1, 2026, in Bangkok, Thailand. Nico S. Wiratama, Founder & CEO of ecommerceloka, received an exclusive invitation from Agoda to attend the event, along with an exclusive office tour at Agoda’s new headquarters in Bangkok.
The participation marked a significant achievement for ecommerceloka, as the company was the only hotel e-commerce management company from Indonesia invited to the gathering.
Connecting with Hospitality Partners from Around the World
Ascend 2026 brought together Agoda’s partners from various markets to exchange perspectives and discuss developments across the travel and hospitality industry.
Throughout the event, participants shared experiences and insights on changes in the travel industry, technological developments, and how hospitality businesses can adapt to evolving traveler behavior. For ecommerceloka, these discussions were closely connected to its day-to-day work in helping hotels and villas grow their businesses through digital channels.
“Ascend 2026 gave us the opportunity to gain a closer perspective on how Agoda and its partners across different markets view the development of the travel industry. We gained valuable insights, particularly on how technology and partnerships can create new opportunities for the hospitality industry,” said Nico S. Wiratama, Founder & CEO of ecommerceloka.
Exclusive Office Tour at Agoda Headquarters
In addition to attending Ascend 2026, the ecommerceloka team had the opportunity to visit Agoda’s new headquarters in Bangkok through an exclusive office tour.
The visit provided ecommerceloka with a firsthand look at Agoda’s working environment and how the global travel technology company supports collaboration and innovation across its operations.
For ecommerceloka, the experience was a valuable part of the visit, offering a different perspective on how a global technology company operates and continues to evolve in serving the needs of travelers and hospitality partners across multiple markets.
Bringing an Indonesian Perspective to a Global Forum
Indonesia is one of the hospitality markets with unique characteristics. In addition to international hotel chains, the country has a diverse range of independent hotels, villas, boutique hotels, and other types of accommodation serving travelers from around the world.
This landscape makes online distribution strategies and the effective use of technology increasingly important for hospitality businesses. ecommerceloka’s participation in Ascend 2026 provided an opportunity to bring these perspectives into discussions with Agoda partners from different markets.
According to ecommerceloka, the future of the hospitality industry will increasingly be shaped by technology, data, and the ability of businesses to build strong partnerships. The opportunity to meet directly with Agoda and partners from different countries therefore provided valuable insights into these developments from a broader perspective.
