KKday CEO Ming Chen declares launch in Singapore, announces #taiwantrippin campaign

Ming Chen, CEO of Asia’s leading travel experience e-commerce platform KKday celebrates Singapore launch, and exciting #taiwantrippin digital campaign.

Singapore, 11th October – KKday’s launch in Singapore
was held at The Working Capital on 6th October, Thursday.
The bustling event was a roaring success attended by media guests, industry
partners, and influencers.

Headquartered in Taiwan, KKday is Asia’s leading travel experience
e-commerce platform that connects users to local tours from all over the world.
Since its official launch in 2014, KKday has expanded to Hong
Kong, Korea, Japan, and now Singapore.

While the startup primarily concentrates on destinations in Asia, it also largely extends to Europe and America, connecting travellers with over 6,000 travel experiences from 53 countries and 174 cities from all over the world.

It was KKday’s CEO, Ming Chen’s personal dire experiences with travel that prompted him to start KKday.

“Normally, consumers can’t choose the local activities they really want to experience because the tour packages are decided by travel agencies. Besides, traditional travel agencies have to go through a long supply chain so whenever problems emerge, it’s hard to trace back to the source.” said Ming Chen during the launch party.

“KKday aims to create an authentic and enjoyable travel experience. We create a customised itinerary for all our customers. For example, we know that SIngaporeans love visiting Jiufen, Shifen, and Pingxi so we coordinated a tour especially for Singaporeans to experience in a day”, said Ming Chen.

As Millennials (25 – 34 years old) make up about 55% of KKday’s customer base, the campaign attempts to reach out to new users and wanderlusters in Singapore who are active on social media. In conjunction with the media launch hosted by Paul Twohill and KKday’s CEO, Ming Chen, who flew in from Taiwan, KKday’s successful debut event in Singapore was complimented by the announcement of their exciting campaign -#taiwantrippin.
