RTT is a travel platform from SATS, Asia’s leading provider of food solutions and gateway services. RTT recently unveiled new features and services of RTT 2.0 at a recent event in Singapore. I had a hands on experience with the RTT app, installed it on my Apple iPhone XR during the event, tried it out and I really liked it! For a solo traveler like me that likes to do my own travel photography adventures, I also do small group travel holidays with friends too sometimes. I reckon this app would be great for both solo and small group travel planning.

RTT allows travelers to purchase travel essentials such as travel insurance, pocket WiFi rental (free device delivery and pickup service) and airport concierge. They have incorporated new features to the RTT app that include:

• Access to over 400 airport lounges in close to 100 countries to expand RTT’s airport lounge selection, including Changi Airport’s four SATS Premier Lounges.
• A new global bag-locate service – from as little as S$6, travellers can insure two bags with a pay-out of up to S$2,200 per delayed bag. Through RTT, travellers get email updates on the location of missing baggage. This service comes with a 96-hour guarantee, from the time the flight lands to baggage return, after which travellers will receive the pay-out.
• A collaborative platform for users to plan a travel itinerary collectively in real-time. It also allows travellers to stay organised by securely saving and accessing travel documents.

“Ready To Travel’s goal is to empower a seamless and hassle-free travel experience for travellers today who appreciate an intuitive platform. We benefit from our parent company, SATS’ extensive network of ground handling operations and partnerships to bring essential global travel services onto a one-stop platform,” said Eileen Tan, Vice President of Consumer Services, SATS Ltd. (Ready To Travel).

After installing the RTT app on my iPhone, I explored the app, discovering travel locations, ideas, interesting things to do, food and drinks. They have an essentials section, which is really useful, such as whether we would need a tourist visa, wether, exchange rate. There is also a folder to save your images and pdf files that you compiled during your travel planning, for your reference if you are doing solo travel or you can share them with your fellow travel mates that are going together with you.

If you are a solo traveler or planning your group travel holidays with your family, relatives or friends, the RTT is an excellent app for you to do almost all your travel planning, needs and essentials purchases all under one app. While the RTT app caters for the younger millennial travelers, I reckon it’s just as suitable for those who love traveling, wanting to customise/plan your own travel adventures with your like-minded travel companions.

I might have found the travel app that I always want to have/use, the Ready to Travel (RTT) app. This app suits what I am doing, planning my solo travel photography adventures. As you can see in my screenshot capture, I do hope that my Kansai travel photography adventure in November 2019 comes true! I named my travel adventure plan as “Solo ‘cos #Yolo”, suits me perfectly!

Fellow travelers and wanderlust out there, do check out Ready to Travel (RTT) app! Download them, happy planning and sharing! Have many great travel adventures with the RTT app!

YOLO! Let’s go travel and have fun!

Attending Tech in Asia Singapore 2018 was a great experience for me, listening to great panel sessions across different stages over two days, visiting different companies from various industries, listening to them sharing more about their products, services etc.

I wrote and shared about my experiences, thoughts and views (from a technology writer/enthusiast perspective) on attending Tech in Asia Singapore 2018 in another article post on my personal / technology blog/website. For this article,I am sharing startups/technology companies related to photography, travel and hospitality industries that were at Tech in Asia Singapore 2018.

Photography related industries

Markedshot

An interesting marketing and business growth platform. I visited their booth to have a chat with them and learn more about their services. After a good chat, I am able to visualise their marketing platform via their social gallery and business growth via their business intelligence and data gathering.

This might be a good partnership for photographers/photography companies that handle big events for clients and also for organisations/buinesses that would like to have a more social and marketing outreach for their events/services.

Check them out on their website – https://www.markedshot.com

Travel related industries

Ownrides

If you love to travel overseas for holidays and you love Taiwan, this would definitely get your attention! DIY and customise your own Taiwan travel itinerary with private driver without the need for a travel agent or travel agency.

Being an independent traveler, DIY travel is what I like, I do like the Ownrides platform. With my strong interest in travel photography, I had a chat with them on this topic and they do have drivers inside their network that would suit travel photographers, just remember to drop them a message.

Meanwhile, I am also looking at their expansion plans and see where they would be expanding/moving into!

Check them out on their website – https://ownrides.com

TravelSkope

Travel in the modern social media and technology era is getting more digitised, online and social media friendly. This would be more of an interest to those who are thinking of setting up their travel agency. TravelSkope can help you to build, setup and customise your travel agency website.

Now, I know who to look for if I want to setup my online travel agency one day in the future.

WAmazing

For Japan travel lovers (like me!), this WAmazing app is going to get your attention too. Plan your Japan travel itinerary through this app and I hope to explore more using this app for my future travels to Japan.

Travelog

An online social travel marketplace for buying, selling and sharing, with their base in Malaysia. If you are planning a travel holiday to Malaysia, this might be useful.

Check them out on their website – https://travelog.com

TravellerMates

This would interest independent and/or small group travelers, connecting them via social media and allowing them to bulk buy popular activities to achieve a group discount

Hospitality Industry

Coffee Break

Being a coffee fan/addict, something related to coffee caught my attention. There are many cafes in Singapore (we coffee lovers know it) and they can be a little bit pricey due to the high overhead costs in rental and wages for the cafes.

This Coffee Break app partners specially curated cafes and helps you to discover the city’s best brews and eats. You can purchase their coffee beverages package plans via the app.

Check them out on their website – http://www.hellocoffeebreak.com

LoyalGuest.com

A travel membership program network that builds a travel community, directly connecting travelers with hotels and other travel service providers. It’s not your usual accommodation booking platform, current presence in Southeast Asia and looking to expand worldwide.

Creative industry

A special mention to Ikibook–  A blockchain ecosystem for the creative industries, musicians, artists, photographers, creatives, this would interest them. Keep a lookout!

For my photographers, travelers and those interested in hospitality industries, hope this would be useful to you in some way or another, as a consumer or from a B2B angle.

** I would like to thank Lewis PR for the invitation to Tech in Asia Singapore 2018 conference! **
