Singapore, 16 June 2025 — Bakuun and Archipelago have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to formalize and expand their longstanding collaboration. The agreement underscores both companies’ shared commitment to modernizing hotel distribution and deepening technology integration across core operational areas. As part of the partnership, Archipelago will continue leveraging Bakuun’s suite of travel technology solutions to optimize distribution and streamline transactions across its global network.

By combining seamless distribution with frictionless payments, we’re not just supporting growth—we’re equipping hotel groups with the infrastructure to scale faster, smarter, and with greater control in every market they enter.”Doros Theodorou, Group Chief Commercial Officer, Bakuun Holdings
