WEBUY GLOBAL LTD. Expands Second Collaboration with CTG MICE Service Company Limited on AI Travel Devices
Singapore, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WEBUY GLOBAL LTD (Nasdaq: WBUY) (the “Company” or “Webuy”) today announced an expanded collaboration with CTG MICE Service Company Limited, a subsidiary of China Tourism Group, to support the planned deployment of its AI-powered smart travel guide devices across major museums and cultural attractions in China.
China is one of the world’s largest tourism markets. According to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China, China recorded approximately 5.62 billion domestic trips and received about 131.9 million inbound visitors in 2024, with domestic tourism spending reaching approximately RMB 5.75 trillion (approximately US$790 billion). With approximately 660,000 licensed tour guides and over 16,000 museums and A-level tourist attractions, the market presents a significant opportunity for scalable, technology-enabled travel guidance.
Designed for real-world travel environments, the Company’s AI smart travel guide device delivers a natural, hands-free experience. It features a high-capacity 8,000mAh battery for all-day use and portable charging, a dedicated push-to-talk button with wired headset for seamless interaction, and advanced voiceprint recognition with near-field audio capture to ensure accurate communication in crowded settings.
Powered by an open AI operating system and connected to the Company’s proprietary travel database via the MCP protocol, the device provides personalized, itinerary-aware guidance — answering questions such as where to go next, how to plan the day, and what to wear based on local weather — effectively acting as a personal AI tour guide throughout the journey.
“This collaboration lays the foundation for the deployment intelligent, scalable travel guidance across one of the world’s largest tourism ecosystems,” said Vincent Xue Bin, CEO of WEBUY GLOBAL LTD, “By combining dedicated AI hardware, proprietary travel intelligence, and strong institutional partnerships, we are positioning this platform for long-term adoption and growth.”
