Trip.com Group and Live Nation Asia Announce Strategic Partnership to Power Concert Travel

SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Concert travel is reshaping tourism in Asia, with fans crossing borders and booking trips to see the artists they love. Trip.com Group, a global leader in travel services, and Live Nation Asia, the world's leading live entertainment company, have announced a multi-year strategic partnership to integrate travel and live music experiences across key Asian markets.

Launching across Hong Kong/Macau, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and Mainland China, the collaboration will allow fans to seamlessly plan concert-focused trips — combining exclusive presale access to shows with flights, hotels, and curated local experiences through Trip.com Group's platform.

This partnership marks Trip.com Group's first step into the live entertainment travel space, reinforcing its commitment to meeting evolving traveller demands and reflecting how tourism, hospitality, and live entertainment are coming together in new ways.

The Rising Power of Music-Drive n Tourism

As live music becomes a growing driver of travel, this partnership is designed to empower fans to follow the artists they love while supporting regional tourism and elevating destination appeal in Asia.

According to Trip.com's Momentum consumer survey, which highlights the next big trends in travel, nearly 66% of Asia Pacific travellers are willing to travel internationally for concerts, with Gen Z and Millennials leading the trend. In Singapore, hotel bookings tripled during Lady Gaga's Asia-exclusive show, while in Hong Kong, over half of concertgoers extended their stay for leisure, driving revenue across tourism sectors. Artists are also adding shows in cities like Singapore, Bangkok, and Seoul, establishing these cities as must-visit music hubs.

"Today's music lovers are embracing immersive experiences that extend far beyond the concert itself," said Mr Bo Sun, Chief Marketing Officer, Trip.com Group. "Through partnerships like this, we are enhancing the travel journey, adding value for fans and unlocking new cultural and economic value for destinations and the wider industry in Asia. Together, we're proud to pioneer the future of tourism through entertainment."

"Concert travel is redefining tourism across Asia," said Mr James Dick, EVP of Partnerships and Media, Live Nation Asia. "Together with Trip.com, we're helping fans turn concerts into unforgettable trips that shape the culture of entire cities."

The partnership also creates room for collaboration with local hotels, attractions, and tourism stakeholders in these markets, building concert-driven products and experiences that encourage more bookings, longer stays, and greater destination appeal in Asia.

Turning Every Show into a Trip Worth Taking

The first launch under this partnership featured exclusive bundled experiences for K-pop powerhouse TWICE's tour in Hong Kong. As the Official Travel Partner of the TWICE <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR IN HONG KONG, Trip.com is giving fans exclusive presale access, bundled hotel packages, and transport options.

Similar bundles and early access will roll out across five markets in Asia, featuring global and regional superstars, and turning every show into an opportunity to explore a new destination. For example, bundles may include concert tickets paired with tickets to attractions like Hong Kong Disneyland, Rainforest Wild ASIA, sightseeing buses, and hotel rooms, elevating the entire trip.

Building on its role as BLACKPINK's Official Sponsor in Bangkok and Hong Kong, Trip.com now also offers presale access for the upcoming BLACKPINK WORLD TOUR <DEADLINE> IN SINGAPORE and HONG KONG.
