What is Agoda Special Offers?
Agoda Special Offers (commonly referred to as ASO) is a premium rate plan that helps partner properties increase their bookings by offering customers a complete experience. This is done by adding benefits to your rate plans (room + 3 benefits, at least one of which must be a high-tier benefit). As such, Agoda Special Offers provides an effective way to create, promote, and secure bookings with extra value.
The Agoda Special Offers rate plan must have at least one high-tier benefit together with two medium-tier benefits. Examples of benefits include:
- Room upgrade, early check-in/late check-out, etc.
- F&B benefits (dinner, free mini-bar, F&B credit/discount, etc.)
- Wellness (i.e., spa services, yoga/meditation class, spa credit/discount, etc.)
- Experiences (i.e., attraction tickets, water activities, tour/excursion, etc.)
