As we’ve said before, so far, we’ve categorized the tickets in to 8 main categories which eventually will be able to accommodate by OpenTiket’s platform namely accommodation, themed park, film (cinema), transportation, tour activity, event, sport match and center.

Business wise, our main focus is to enlarge the product database that will be on sale on OpenTiket by establishing strategic partnership with vendors, agency system development, including educating the market in the context of introducing OpenTiket’s services.
