ABOUT US
Touch Down Travel Tech is an integrated tourism technology solution business that develops full, end-to-end platforms using the latest technology to provide a seamless integration between supplier and customer.
Created to break the model of the typical tourism distribution company, Touch Down Travel Tech is a vibrant eco-system with silos that support the total distribution channel, ranging from Retail, Trade and Mice, to the B2B and Corporate markets. The dynamic creation of these product units allows a product owner the peace of mind to have all business covered in dealing with one single entity.
Products include Ukiyo that drives travel content and bookings; online travel agent Xscape4u; revenue and distribution platform Scopic; Touch Down Destination Management Company; and retail travel agent Go Touch Down Travel and Tours, with each silo led by a team of well-known travel professionals with extensive experience.
By investing in people who truly understand the industry and linking them to state-of-the-art technology, we create the ultimate solution. This, combined with our extensive knowledge of global digital tourism markets, enables us to provide our customers with conversions that INNOVATE, INTEGRATE and INSPIRE.
