TRAVEL search engine Wego is partnering with China’s leading smartphone maker Xiaomi to have its travel app pre-installed in half a million new android devices bound for Asian markets.
The 500,000 mobile phones will be distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore, according to Honey Mittal, vice president of mobile at Wego.
Explaining the chosen destinations, Mittal said: “Travel audiences in these markets have overwhelmingly confirmed their preference for planning and booking travel on a smartphone device,” adding that Xiaomi devices have also been successful in these countries.
Wego’s travel app is currently available for download on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
