Flywire industry director of travel segment Colin Smyth said: “Adventure travel is a fast-growing opportunity but the payment side of it adds a whole new level of complexity.

“The reality is most OTAs and tour operators don’t want to be in the payments business if they can avoid it.

“At the same time, they also understand that payments represent an important part of the customer experience. A lot can go wrong if payments and disbursements aren’t handled properly. They can’t ignore it.”

Earlier this year, Flywire carried out a restricted launch of the product. Since then, it has been used by 50 clients globally.

Notably, in August, Vietnam Prosperity Bank collaborated with Flywire to streamline international tuition payments for Vietnamese students.
