Restaurant reservations service eatigo has received a second investment boost from TripAdvisor in pre-Series C funding.
Exact amounts have not been disclosed but this is the second time TripAdvisor has invested in the Southeast Asia business with the reviews giant leading a Series B round in October 2016 when funding stood at $15.5m.
Total funding for eatigo is now more than $25 million.
A statement from TripAdvisor says its restaurant division and TheFork subsidiary, will help eatigo expand in the Asia Pacific region.
TripAdvisor acquired Europe-based mobile and web restaurant booking service LaFourchette (TheFork) back in May 2014.

In early 2015, TripAdvisor further boosted its restaurant unit with the acquisitions of Netherlands-based IENS and SeatMe.
The non-hotel category, which includes restaurants, vacation rentals and attractions (recently rebranded as Experiences) grew 36% from $58 million in Q1 2017 to $79 million in Q1 2018.
eatigo, which was founded in 2013, and has launched in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and India in 2017, will use this latest cash injection to expand into further markets.
A year ago, eatigo announced it was acquiring India-based online reservation service Ressy.
eatigo now operates in six countries and has more than four million users.
