H.I.S. seeks to find possibilities of co-creation of new businesses with startup companies

H.I.S. has invested in start-up company, Port, to make online travel more interactive and accessible in a post-coronavirus era

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- H.I.S. USA Holding, Inc. (CEO: Hideo Hatano) is announcing its investment in Port Remote Pte. LTD. (CEO: Philip Man), in hopes of expanding and collaborating to create a new business platform that utilizes smartphones to access areas remotely during the time of Coronavirus and travel post-Coronavirus. Travel guides will showcase sight-seeing spots with the use of their smartphone to make visible to viewers around the world.

As the world will increasingly be dependent upon online communication due to the prolonged effects of Coronavirus, there will be an increase in demand for "online travel experiences" via video conferencing platforms. H.I.S. was one of the early adopters to develop online tours, creating services accessible for even those who are limited or unable to physically travel to the actual destinations. Last summer, a pilot program with Port for remote tourism was conducted to verify that remote tourism enhances the experience value.

In the future, H.I.S. plans to promote Port as a platform for travel agencies, private guides, and other related companies, aiming for a world where travel and human connection with the local people can be had without having to meet physically.

H.I.S. will keep on making an effort to develop new businesses with help from ambitious start-ups around the world to become a company that our customers could enjoy and benefit from.
