TikTok Now Books Hotels Because Why Leave The App?

TikTok is taking 'doomscrolling' to new heights by letting users book hotels directly in-app, thanks to a partnership with Booking.com. Yes, you can 'enter check-in and check-out dates' without ever leaving your mind-numbing video spiral. They're even rolling out TikTok Go, a program where creators with 'at least 1,000 followers' earn commissions promoting venues — because apparently, we needed influencers deciding where we sleep too. Travel creator Amanda Dishman calls it 'cool' and appreciates the low barrier, which might just mean your cousin's dance video could now book more rooms than an actual travel agent.

Oh, I’m sorry, did I miss the part where TikTok became my travel agent and hotel concierge? Next, I expect to book surgeries between cat video marathons. Just what we needed: scroll paralysis meets trip planning. Goodbye Expedia, hello influencers hawking mattresses.

So let me get this straight: TikTok went from choreographing dances to coordinating your vacation rentals? What’s next, Dr. TikTok doing surgery via livestream? If booking hotels involved less scrolling and more actual planning, that’d be wild.

Booking.com teaming up with TikTok to book hotels? That’s like Amazon handing Alexa the hotel keys, then listening to her give travel advice while telling you which candy you MUST buy. The future is here and it’s politely interrupting your vacation plans.
