UAE business travel platform Tumodo is set to integrate its services with Tabby, a leading MENA shopping and financial services app, in a move that will further the digital transformation of the region’s travel market.

Tabby already helps millions of people in the MENA region stay in control of their finances. Now, with the integration of Tumodo’s platform, business travelers will gain improved control over their travel expenses, along with greater transparency and accountability.

“The collaboration with Tabby signifies a major step forward in our mission to digitize business travel in the UAE and GCC, including the use of AI technologies. Now, we can extend brands’ reach to a wider audience and lead to a sustainable future,” said Vladimir Kokorin, founder of Tumodo.

Tumodo’s MENA expansion also comes at a time where the company is doubling its efforts to promote sustainable travel. Tumodo is advising all customers and partners on how they can be more eco-friendly when it comes to travel, and how to minimize the ecological impact of business trips.

By 2022, spending in the global business travel market had risen to $1.03 trillion. However, that figure is expected to surpass the pre-pandemic figure of $1.4 trillion sometime this year. Despite many companies continuing to prefer online meetings, the business travel market continues to grow rapidly and is expected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2027.

The integration of Tumodo’s travel platform into Tabby’s service will surely enhance business efficiency and reinforce both companies’ commitments to sustainability. Meanwhile, the UAE will also benefit as it continues to grow into a leading business hub focused on sustainable practices.
