• Wetour announces a blockchain-driven transformation for the travel industry, featuring stablecoin payments, tokenized loyalty programs, and instant supplier payouts.
  • Wetour plans for a cross-loyalty bridge connecting programs by late 2026, aiming to eliminate reward silos and boost transparency.

A bold Web3 plan has been announced by Wetour Travel Tech LLC, the U.S. innovation division of Nasdaq-listed Webus International Limited (WETO), to use blockchain technology to transform the global travel business.

Three key innovations—stablecoin payments, tokenized loyalty programs, and immediate supplier settlements—are the focus of the plan, which positions Wetour as an essential link between Asia's quickly growing, mobile-driven travel markets and American blockchain infrastructure.

Under the direction of its 25-year-old founder and CEO, Nan Zheng, Wetour is aiming to meet the demands of younger tourists, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, who anticipate speed, convenience, and transparency.

“Gen Z won’t tolerate hidden fees or seven-day payout cycles. They expect money to move at the speed of their lifestyle,” Zheng emphasized. 

Travelers will be able to transmit money across borders as easily as sending a text message, thanks to the company's blockchain-based ecosystem, which attempts to remove friction from loyalty and payment systems.

The roadmap will be implemented in phases. By late 2025, stablecoin checkout solutions like USDC will be available. 

In early 2026, smart-contract payouts would enable hotels and service providers to get money seconds after a client checks in.

A token-native loyalty program that allows passengers to get points in their digital wallets with real-time, partial redemption capabilities will be launched in mid-2026.

Wetour intends to test a cross-program bridge layer by the second half of 2026, which might facilitate smooth value transfers across well-known loyalty programs like United MileagePlus and Hilton Honors, dismantling silos and cutting down on orphan points.

Along with offering travelers quicker and more transparent transactions, Wetour's strategy gives businesses previously unheard-of insight into the issue and redemption of loyalty points, allowing for composable promotions and dynamic pricing.

With its main office in Delaware and offices in New York, Tokyo, and Singapore, WeTour currently serves tourists in more than ten nations and collaborates with hundreds of hotel chains, airlines, and destination management companies.
