History of Traveloka
Traveloka was established in 2012 by Derianto Kusuma, Ferry Unardi and Albert Zhangin in Indonesia. The idea to set up this business had struck Ferry Unardi when he realised the difficulty in booking flight tickets from United States to Indonesia, especially his hometown of Padang. Back then, there was no prominent travel website dedicated for booking hotels and long-haul flights in major carrier airlines of the world in South East Asia. Thus, in 2012, the three founders came up with Traveloka which initially began as a search engine to compare the prices of airline tickets from different sites. In mid-2013, the company officially turned into a ticket reservation website. The founders continued to expand Traveloka s operations by launching hotel booking services on the website in 2014. Later, the travel company began to offer more services such as airport transfers and booking attractions and activities. Expanding rapidly in the Asia-Pacific, Traveloka has emerged as a popular choice for many travel enthusiasts looking for more travel options and better deals.
