The story
G2 Travel launched as a wholesale tour operator specialising in group hotel distribution for B2B travel trade across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. It has since expanded into FIT (individual traveller) solutions via its Gemini hotel distribution platform. The company's embedded finance evolution centres on its March 2025 partnership with Nium, replacing legacy bank-wire hotel payments with virtual card technology to enable real-time multi-currency supplier settlements and automated reconciliation.
