Below is today's news made by TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC.Every day, people come to TikTok to find their next adventure, like the hotel with the view that sparked their interest, the hidden gem restaurant a creator swears by, or the experience they didn't know they needed. Today, we're announcing TikTok GO, a new way for people in the United States to discover and book local services, including hotels, attractions, and tours, directly on TikTok.Built into the app more than 200 million Americans use, TikTok GO helps connect the places and experiences people discover on TikTok with the businesses behind them. Whether planning a weekend trip, looking for something to do nearby, or following a creator recommendation, people can explore and book in just a few taps.How it worksTikTok GO surfaces lodging and things to do across the ways people already discover content on TikTok - through videos, search, and location pages. When users find something they love, they can view details, check availability, and complete a booking in just a few simple steps.TikTok GO makes it easier for people to discover and book hotels and experiences directly on TikTok. With partners spanning accommodations and experiences - including Booking.com, Expedia, Viator, GetYourGuide, Tiqets, and Trip.com - TikTok GO is bringing a wider range of travel inspiration and booking opportunities onto the platform. Users must be at least 18 years old to book an experience through TikTok GO.Turning discovery into actionTikTok is already where America discovers what's next. Now it's where they can book it. Tens of thousands of new posts shared each day across accommodations and things to do show how discovery is already happening on TikTok - and TikTok GO helps turn that momentum into action. "Every day on TikTok, millions of people discover where to eat, where to stay, and what to do next. TikTok GO connects that moment of inspiration directly to the businesses behind it, and that's good for creators, good for local businesses, and good for communities." - Adam Presser, CEO of TikTok USDS Joint VentureFor businesses and creatorsTikTok GO gives local businesses and travel partners a new way to reach people who are already looking for inspiration. By connecting merchants with TikTok's discovery ecosystem across video, search, and location pages, TikTok GO helps businesses reach new audiences, drive bookings, and build stronger connections with the communities they serve. "We're excited to collaborate with TikTok to turn those 'I wish I were there' moments into real stays with TikTok GO. By bringing Booking.com directly into the TikTok journey, travellers can move from discovering a dream accommodation in a video to securing their stay in just a few taps - making it easier than ever to turn inspiration into unforgettable experiences." - Mark van der Linden, VP Partnerships, Booking.com "Our partnership with TikTok marks a major shift in how travel experiences are booked through TikTok GO - enabling travelers to move directly from discovery to a seamless booking. Whether it's visiting the Vatican or checking out a cooking class in Tokyo, we're collapsing the time between inspiration and action. With over 200,000 experiences across 12,000 destinations, GetYourGuide is well-positioned to power that moment at scale, giving our operators - many of them small, local businesses - direct access to a massive, travel-hungry audience. Experiences have become the primary reason people travel, not an afterthought. With TikTok GO, we're at the center of that transformation, right at the moment of inspiration." - Johannes Reck, Co-Founder & CEO, Get Your GuideFor creators, TikTok GO turns local storytelling into a real rewards opportunity. Creators who feature hotels, attractions, and local services can connect their content directly to bookings, with opportunities to earn through commissions and creator campaigns.TikTok has long been a place where discovery begins. And just as TikTok Shop helps people turn discovery into action, TikTok GO makes it easier to turn inspiration into real-world experiences - and this is just the beginning of how we'll continue to connect people with the places and businesses they love.
