Grab launches new travel benefits at lounges and restaurants in Soekarno-Hatta Airport  today.

“Grab data shows the national airport consistently comes up as one of the top pick-up points in Indonesia and across the region. With travel as being such an important part of our customers’ lives, we now aim to provide a great overall experience for Southeast Asia’s road warriors and savvy trippers. From a seamless payments experience and a safe ride to and from the airport, to now additional benefits at the airport,“ said Ridzki Kramadibrata, President of Grab Indonesia.

Tourism is on the rise in Southeast Asia, with the size of the region’s overall travel market estimated at US$149 billion in 2017. Traveling within Southeast Asia in particular is expected to grow in popularity for the fast-growing region. According to the ASEAN Secretariat, intra-ASEAN travellers in 2015 already made up 42 per cent of the region’s overall tourist numbers. The intra-Southeast Asian traveller segment accounts for over 37 million trips, according to Grab market research data.

Having served travelers across the region for more than 6 years, Grab’s platform is able to discern Southeast Asia’s travel preferences and match new services and benefits with those needs. For example, for visitors to Singapore, Changi Airport was the No. 1 pick-up point for all countries, except for Indonesia users, for whom the airport didn’t even figure among the top three pick-up locations. Instead, Paragon Shopping Centre reigned supreme.
