Events | 2026-05-20 11:00:00

HONG KONG, May 20, 2026 — PhotonPay, a stablecoin-powered global financial operating system, today announced its participation in ITB China 2026, one of the most influential gatherings for the global travel industry. As the event will take place from May 26 to 28 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, PhotonPay will be exhibiting at Booth N47, connecting with industry leaders to redefine how travel businesses manage global transactions.

ITB China this year is expected to bring together over 900 exhibitors from 85 countries and regions, alongside 1,700 core buyers. As the industry continues to evolve amid recovering international demand and increasingly fragmented distribution channels, the event has become an important platform for exploring how technology is reshaping travel operations, customer experiences, and global connectivity.

As agencies like OTAs handle growing volumes of global transactions, their traditional reliance on fragmented banking networks often results in prolonged latency, hidden fees, and reconciliation discrepancies. PhotonPay's goal at ITB China is to engage with industry leaders to explore how a centralized, compliant, and technology-driven payment framework can mitigate these risks. By integrating specialized payment solutions, travel platforms can better optimize liquidity, improve operational efficiency, ensuring they remain competitive in a rapidly changing global market.

Optimizing Financial Operations for Modern Travel Businesses

For OTAs, ticketing platforms, and MICE organizers, the ability to collect payments globally and settle with suppliers instantaneously is not just a convenience, but an operational requirement. PhotonPay's solution for the travel sector is designed to move beyond basic processing, focusing instead on the entire lifecycle of global transactions.

By combining traditional banking networks with stablecoin-based settlement rails, PhotonPay adopts a dual-rail solution to process high-volume, multi-currency transactions. It also prioritizes transaction speed, cost efficiency and real-time operational visibility.

This architecture translates into several key capabilities:

Enhanced Conversion Rates: Enable seamless checkout experiences by supporting multi-currency and stablecoin payments, which aligns with the diverse preferences of international travelers.

Global Settlement Agility: Offer flexible payout options — including bank transfers, local networks, e-wallets, direct-to-card payouts, or instantaneous stablecoin settlements, ensuring every supplier or partner gets paid in their preferred way.

Operational Transparency: Provide a unified dashboard for end-to-end visibility across bookings, transactions and settlements, spanning fiat and digital asset flows, reducing the administrative burden on finance teams.

Built-in Trust and Compliance: Safeguard all transactions within a fully regulated infrastructure, complete with robust KYC, AML and fraud prevention controls, ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards.

The capabilities outlined above represent just a fraction of PhotonPay's comprehensive offerings for the travel industry. For detailed customized plans, technical specifications, and hands-on demonstrations of how our platform can address your business's unique needs, we invite you to connect with our team in person at Booth N47. Let's explore how a unified, stablecoin-enabled infrastructure can simplify your global operations and provide a new competitive edge for your travel business.
