Cloudbeds connects to Klook, a channel that sells the stay next to the tour

Cloudbeds has connected its hotel management system to Klook, the Asia Pacific booking platform better known for tours and attractions than for rooms. The integration gives properties on Cloudbeds another source of international demand in a region where Klook already has a large travel audience.

The connection is two-way. Rates, availability and bookings sync automatically between the two systems, so a reservation taken on Klook lands in Cloudbeds without anyone retyping it, and a room sold elsewhere closes on Klook. That is the standard promise of a channel integration, and the practical point is that you are not adding another extranet to check every morning.

Klook's strongest markets, according to the announcement, are Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines. Cloudbeds says it works with tens of thousands of properties in more than 150 countries.

"Distribution is about being present where travelers are looking and giving hoteliers the flexibility to decide where their next reservation comes from," said Sébastien Leitner, Vice President of Partnerships at Cloudbeds. "Klook has built a distinctive travel ecosystem and a strong footprint across Asia Pacific. This integration opens another valuable avenue of distribution for our customers, helping them reach new international demand without adding unnecessary complexity to their operations."

Emma Lee, VP of Hotels at Klook, framed it around trip context. "Travellers on Klook are booking their stay alongside the experiences, transport and attractions that shape their trip," she said. "Connecting directly with Cloudbeds gives properties a simple way to tap into that demand, with rates and availability staying in sync so their teams can focus on hosting guests rather than managing channels."

What it means for operators

The interesting thing about Klook as a channel is the one the release only gestures at. Klook sells activities first and accommodation second, which means a guest arriving through it has often already bought a tour or an airport transfer. For a city hotel near attractions, that is a useful demand pool. For a resort that sells its own activities, the same booking may arrive with the ancillary spend already committed somewhere else.

Two things the announcement does not say are worth chasing before you switch it on. It does not state which Cloudbeds plans include the connection. And it says nothing about commission or channel fees, so treat Klook's take rate as a question for your account manager rather than an assumption.

This is also a pattern rather than a one-off. Cloudbeds has been adding distribution and intelligence partners steadily through 2026, including RateTiger, Lighthouse and its own OTA Ads product, alongside the launch of its revenue management system earlier this month. If you are on Cloudbeds, the channel list is now growing faster than most teams review it, and an unused connection still costs you rate parity attention.
