About Us

MTT is the mobile travel specialist – that’s all we do. Uniquely our staff is drawn from mobile software development and travel technology backgrounds.

We focus on the benefits that can be achieved from delivering mobile services and applications to all mobile devices, where there is an opportunity for you to inform, service and market to your customers.

MTT’s knowledge of mobile technologies and its applicability to the travel industry, together with our knowledge of travel technology systems and processes provides a direct benefit to you in working with us. MTT is a mobile travel platform-/product-based company, rather than a generic IT services or generic mobile software company. As such MTT will continue anyway to develop its M2B platform, for the benefit of all MTT clients.

Given our heritage, we apply mobile technologies to travel – pragmatically. MTT works with blue-chip airline, hotel chain and travel intermediary clients worldwide – EMEA, Asia Pacific, Americas.
