SINGAPORE, 31 March 2021: OMT Group of Companies, a Singapore-based travel consultancy, will launch a blockchain-backed mobile application that allows end-users to tap and buy travel packages seamlessly and securely on the ledger.
The Singapore-based travel consultancy, with a global network of wholesalers spanning 25 countries across four major markets, is gearing up its next development phase with a decentralised mobile application.
The application will feature a comprehensive selection of curated itineraries, along with a secured payment gateway and rewards system.
In addition to the incorporation of the application, OMT Group of Companies is also looking to kick-start the mobile application with a comprehensive offering of affordable itineraries supported by major destinations including Indonesia, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
Come April, end-users will be able to download the application from their iTunes and Android stores.
