Move over influencers, TikTok is no longer just a video creation and sharing platform.
The social media platform has just announced that it will offer in-app travel booking capabilities for users in the United States via a new feature called TikTokGO.
The new feature allows TikTok's more than 200 million American users to discover and book local services, including hotels, attractions, and tours, directly on TikTok, according to an announcement posted on the social media giant’s website.
“TikTok GO helps connect the places and experiences people discover on TikTok with the businesses behind them,” according to TikTok. “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 TikTokGo Works
The social media platform's GO feature has been designed to “surface lodging and things to do” across the various ways people already discover content on TikTok, meaning through videos, search, and location pages. When users find something they’re interested in they can view details, check availability, and complete a booking in just a few simple steps.
TikTok has partnered with major travel industry search and booking engines to make its new offering possible. That includes such industry heavy hitters as Booking.com, Expedia, Viator, GetYourGuide, Tiqets, and trip.com.
“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 Venture, said in a statement.
Impacts for Businesses and Creators
There’s good news in today’s announcement for businesses and creators too. TikTok said it’s new GO feature “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.
For 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.
