Klook’s SEC filing offers a rare look at the economics, scale, and ambition behind the fast-growing travel experiences sector.
Asian travel experiences platform Klook filed for an IPO in the U.S. Monday as it sets its sights on global expansion.
Headquartered in Hong Kong and Singapore, Klook — short for “Keep Looking” — is best known for selling travel experiences like walking tours but has been expanding to include other services such as local train rides and car rentals.
The company, founded in 2014, has raised more than $1 billion over the years from investors like SoftBank and Goldman Sachs, the latter of which is listed as one of the lead underwriters for the IPO.
Klook aims to trade under the ticker KLK on the New York Stock Exchange. Skift previously reported that the offering could raise about $500 million.
According to a filing with the U.S. SEC, between 2023 and 2024:
Gross transaction value grew from $1.8 billion to $2.5 billion (up 36%). Revenue grew from $335.2 million to $417.1 million
