Lynn Qu, VP of Product at Trip.com said, “We are delighted to expand Trip.com’s global footprint, bringing our award-winning travel app and world-class service to customers in more markets.

With an ever growing range of travel products and services, Trip.com is backed up by exceptional customer service. Call center staff are able to handle calls in over 10 languages to ensure that we stay by our customer’s side 24/7. Going global while thinking local is the philosophy driving Trip.com. We aim to provide the most localized services as possible. This can be seen in having local call centers in Edinburgh, South Korea and most recently, Japan.
