From their unique approach to customer and provider care to their commitment to sustainability and utilization of AI, learn why MyTravelThru stands out. Explore their future plans and the impact they made at the ARIVAL | Activate Bangkok event.
During the recent ARIVAL | Activate Bangkok event in Thailand, Tan Mai, the Founder & CEO of MyTravelThru, shared insights into the international aspect of his company and its remarkable growth in the past three years. MyTravelThru, established in November 2019, has overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and has successfully expanded its operations to cover airport transfers and ground transportation in over 150 countries, encompassing 1,700 destinations worldwide.
The inception of MyTravelThru stemmed from Tan Mai’s personal experience working in hotels, where he observed various issues and challenges within the transportation industry. Motivated to address these issues, Tan Mai ventured out to establish MyTravelThru, aiming to revolutionize the industry.
Setting MyTravelThru apart from its competitors is the company’s unique approach to not only providing exceptional services to clients but also prioritizing the growth and support of its providers. By assisting providers in expanding their bookings and operations, MyTravelThru has enabled many small teams to flourish into larger-scale operations. Notable success stories include providers in markets such as Mauritius and New York, where their fleet of vehicles has grown from just three to five cars to an impressive 35 vehicles, thanks to MyTravelThru’s support.
In terms of marketing and brand promotion, MyTravelThru has implemented an affiliate program, leveraging the influence of agencies and key opinion leaders (KOLs). With the proliferation of social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook Reels, content creators and KOLs can easily refer MyTravelThru’s services to their audiences. By sharing personalized referral links, these individuals can earn a commission for each booking made through their link, contributing to a mutually beneficial partnership.
Sustainability is a core value for MyTravelThru. The company actively encourages the use of public transportation whenever suitable, promoting environmentally friendly travel options. However, for those who genuinely require private transportation, MyTravelThru offers a solution. They have implemented various practices within the industry to achieve net-zero environmental impact.
