- ByStartupStory | November 11, 2025
Hong Kong-based travel booking platform Klook has filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States, aiming to raise capital as it capitalizes on the post-pandemic travel boom. The company reported revenue of $417.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a 24.5% increase from $335.2 million in 2023.
Klook plans to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “KLK.” The IPO is being led by major investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and J.P. Morgan. The listing is not only a capital raising effort but also a strategic move to solidify Klook’s position as a leading digital-first travel experiences marketplace.
Klook differentiates itself from legacy online travel agencies by focusing on AI personalization, SaaS tools for tour operators, and a content creator network with over 20,000 members, called “Klook Kreator,” to address demand for hyper-local and experiential travel. The platform currently serves around 50 million monthly users, predominantly Gen Z and millennials.
The IPO comes amid renewed investor interest in technology listings, fueled by optimism around the global travel sector’s recovery, now valued at $782 billion. Despite geopolitical risks and intense competition, Klook aims to lead the evolving travel ecosystem by blending AI, social commerce, and sustainability principles.
