Omio Group used the stage of ITB Berlin 2026 to announce an ambitious slate of product launches and commercial partnerships, signalling that the company is moving decisively beyond its European roots to challenge incumbents across every corner of the global travel market.
The group, which operates both the Omio booking platform and the route-discovery app Rome2Rio, says it now counts more than one billion annual users, draws on inventory from 3,000 transport partners in 46 countries, and processes over 100,000 ticket sales every day. By 2028, the company intends to be active in more than 70 countries — a target that would make it the most geographically diverse multimodal travel company in the world.
Corporate Travel for Small Business
Perhaps the most consequential announcement is the launch of Omio Business, the company’s first dedicated product for small and mid-sized enterprises. The platform consolidates flights, trains, buses, and accommodation into a single interface and, crucially, drops the contracts and minimum-spend thresholds that have long made corporate travel tools inaccessible to smaller organisations.
The move positions Omio in direct competition with established corporate travel management companies, though the company appears to be targeting the underserved SMB segment rather than large enterprise accounts.
AI Reshapes the Rome2Rio Discovery Experience
Rome2Rio, which helps travellers understand how to get from any point A to any point B in the world, is receiving a significant overhaul. An updated app introduces AI-powered route intelligence alongside an interactive map interface and integrated ground-transport booking, closing the gap between research and purchase.
The platform has also launched an advertising product that allows destinations and travel brands to reach travellers at the very start of their planning journey. Early partners include Visit Brazil, Visit Malta, and the Croatian National Tourism Board — a geographically varied roster that underlines Rome2Rio’s global audience reach.
Distribution Network Expands with easyTrain Deal
On the B2B side, Omio announced a white-label partnership with easyTrain — part of the easy family of travel brands — that will distribute Omio’s rail and bus inventory to easyTrain’s UK and European customer base. The deal is the latest in a series of supply integrations the company says it is accelerating using AI-assisted onboarding tools.
Geographically, 2025 saw Omio expand into six Southeast Asian countries and Brazil. The company added that its 47th market launch would be formally announced on 12 March, though further details remain under embargo.
‘Travellers Demand Seamless Journeys by Default’
“Today, multimodal travel has moved from complexity to expectation. Travellers demand seamless journeys by default; however, the systems in place are woefully outdated and unnecessarily complicated,” said Naren Shaam, Founder and CEO of Omio.
Shaam added that the group’s goal is to offer discovery, booking, and partner distribution inside a single global platform, which he argued would “radically transform the transport sector.”
Founded in Berlin in 2013, Omio employs over 430 staff from more than 50 countries and maintains offices across Berlin, Prague, Melbourne, Bangalore, and Singapore. The company’s Omio Pass subscription, which offers 10% off trains, buses, and ferries over a 90-day period, is also now live in the main app.
