Based in Singapore, Agoda, a subsidiary of the world's leading online travel service provider, Booking Holdings Inc., provides services in 39 languages and employs staff in 27 markets, according to the company. If the company fails to implement drastic measures, the Japanese government may impose administrative penalties, according to the source. Toyoko Inn Co., which operates a major hotel chain in Japan, warned travellers on its website on June 16 about booking issues involving Agoda and its partner firms. It cited cases of incorrect room types and reservation dates, as well as instances where rooms were listed on Agoda at significantly higher prices than those set by the hotels. Toyoko Inn stated that various issues have arisen from the resale of rooms by Agoda's partner companies, and that travellers must contact those firms directly to resolve problems, including reservation cancellations.
