What It Was
Travelbook.ph (Travel Book Philippines, Inc.) was a Philippines-based online travel agency that offered hotel, resort, and tour-and-activity bookings across domestic destinations. It operated under the backing of Recruit Holdings, a major Japanese media and technology conglomerate, and Summit Media in the Philippines.
Who It Served and How Properties Connected
The platform primarily served Filipino travelers seeking hotels and resorts throughout the Philippines, offering a pay-at-hotel option and multiple local payment methods including over-the-counter payments at convenience stores and department stores. Properties were listed on the platform and could receive bookings through Travelbook.ph's marketplace. At its peak the platform was affiliated with thousands of hotels and resorts nationwide.
Current Status
Travelbook.ph ceased operations in 2020, closing its booking platform after a multi-year run. Hotels that previously distributed through this channel should confirm that inventory is no longer live and redirect distribution to active Philippine OTAs.
