It's a long way from a mountain bike in Phuket to a plush office in Bangkok's Offices at Central World, but Michael Kenny, CEO of Agoda Company, remembers it as a fast ride. When he launched Tropical Trails in November 1996, he had no idea where the road would take him. "I was passionate about travel and tourism, but not sure if I could create a successful business running bike tours on Phuket. I tried it anyway." That determination to pursue his passion for travel has paid off for Kenny.
He's now the head of Agoda Company Pte. Ltd, a Singapore-based online hotel bookings company with operations in Bangkok and the Philippines. Next month Kenny celebrates a decade as a travel entrepreneur and looks forward to another 10 years. "When it was time to move beyond Tropical Trails, I wasn't sure I'd have a future in travel. That was discouraging.
