Omio, the leading multimodal travel booking platform, has announced a $10m strategic investment from GraniteIntegral to enhance its expansion efforts in Japan and Southeast Asia. This move aims to capitalise on the growing number of international travellers in the Asia-Pacific region, which is projected to be the fastest-growing travel market globally over the next five years.
The investment will enable Omio to deepen its transport network across Japan and Southeast Asia, strengthen local partnerships, and expand its regional teams, particularly in its AI-focused technology hub in Singapore. GraniteIntegral, known for its expertise in Asia's travel and technology sectors, will support Omio in refining its customer offerings and growing its presence in these key markets.
Omio has already experienced strong demand in Japan following its recent launch, with travellers booking journeys along popular routes such as the Golden Route and more remote destinations. The company continues to expand its Japanese transport network through partnerships with operators like Japan Railways and Willer Express.
Naren Shaam, Founder and CEO of Omio, highlighted Japan's significance as a travel market, noting the complexity of planning journeys across different operators and transport modes. "With GraniteIntegral's unparalleled regional expertise, we intend to accelerate a new era of connected travel in Japan," he said.
CK Choun, Co-Head of GraniteIntegral, emphasised the long-term opportunities in Japan and Southeast Asia, stating, "Omio has built a highly differentiated multimodal platform needed to simplify increasingly fragmented travel experiences."
Omio plans to expand into over 70 markets worldwide by 2028, with Japan and Southeast Asia as key priorities in its international growth strategy
