Travel Boutique Online (TBO), Indian B2B travel portal backed by Naspers, has partnered with Fxkart.com. This partnership will enable the 19,000 travel agents of TBO to make foreign exchange bookings for their customers. While online travel portals are increasingly taking market share; there is a consumer segment that prefers making travel bookings through a travel agent.
The partnership will enable TBO’s travel agents to access competitive forex rates from Fxkart.com’s network of over 250 RBI authorised money changers at around 1,300 locations in India.
Ankush Nijhawan, co-founder, TBO Group, said, “Fxkart.com is one of the most promising startups in the fin-tech sector. With foreign exchange being one of the biggest pain points for the travel agent, this would be a shot in the arm to seamlessly book forex on the portal and servicing the customer at the lowest rates.”
Abdul Hadi Shaikh, CEO, Fxkart.com, added, “We are happy to be on the platform as it gives us an instant reach to service travel agents who trust TBO across India with the help of technology.”
