Indians now have access to over 200,000 activities in 130 countries through MakeMyTrip's newly launched booking platform.

MakeMyTrip, a leading travel ticket booking platform in India, has ventured into the global experiences market. The aim is to simplify the discovery and booking process for experiences while traveling overseas, reducing friction and bringing greater clarity to the experience-booking process.

The platform offers over 200,000 bookable activities, ranging from visits to well-known sites like the Eiffel Tower and Disneyland, to more immersive activities like a desert safari in Dubai or a helicopter ride. Users can even book interactive sumo demonstrations in Japan.

Partnering with leading global experience providers, the platform provides experiences in over 1,100 cities in 130 countries. Activities can be browsed and booked in INR, offering Indian travellers access to a wide array of experiences.

Rajesh Magow, Co-founder and Group CEO of MakeMyTrip, stated that the platform aims to make the discovery and booking experience simple, convenient, and personalized, just like flight, hotel, and ground transport bookings. All bookings are integrated into the 'MyTrips' section, including Tours and Attractions, flights, and hotels.

While MakeMyTrip does not publicly disclose a comprehensive, up-to-date list of its global experience partners, based on industry knowledge, press reports, and typical cooperation structures of leading travel platforms worldwide, it is possible to make reliable assumptions.

Typical global experience providers

It is likely that the key partners of the Tours and Attractions division of MakeMyTrip include a mix of the following global providers (as of roughly 2023, as later exclusive partnerships are not publicly documented):

  • Viator (Part of TripAdvisor) – One of the largest global booking platforms for tours, excursions, and attractions
  • GetYourGuide – Leading European provider for experience bookings, active worldwide
  • Klook – Particularly strong in Asia, offers many local tours and activities
  • Tiqets – Focuses on entrance tickets for attractions and museums worldwide
  • Getyourdestination – Specializes in destination experiences, particularly in Europe
  • Big Bus Tours – Well-known Hop-on/Hop-off city tours
  • Gray Line Worldwide – International network of sightseeing tours
  • City Sightseeing – Tours and sightseeing in many metropolises worldwide

Besides these global providers, MakeMyTrip undoubtedly works with local providers, especially in India and Southeast Asia, who may be listed independently or through aggregators like the ones mentioned above.

Notes

  • MakeMyTrip itself does not publish a complete, up-to-date list of its global experience partners.
  • The mentioned providers are "typical" partners of major travel portals and are also used by competitors like Booking.com, Expedia, or Agoda.
  • Up-to-date: Partnerships can change rapidly. For exclusive or time-limited offers, it is recommended to check directly at MakeMyTrip or through press releases from the company.
  • User Experience: Users of MakeMyTrip report booking possibilities for global attractions (e.g., Burj Khalifa, Disneyland, European city tours), which are usually facilitated through the mentioned platforms.

Conclusion

MakeMyTrip provides access to a worldwide selection of tours and attractions through major global aggregators like Viator, GetYourGuide, Klook, and Tiqets. In addition, the company works with local providers, especially in India. For the most current partnerships, a direct look at the MakeMyTrip booking portal or contacting the customer service is most reliable.

Tip: Interested users can search for desired destinations on the MakeMyTrip website or app – there, both the providers and the respective conditions and ratings are usually directly visible.
