If interested, visitors or tourists are able to directly communicate with T-Agent and proceed to the transaction process. “The transaction process that will be a money for T-Agent,” said Kevin last week.
Kevin said that this idea was inspired from motorcycle (ojek) online applications that are much on demand by Indonesian. “A lot of tourist places in Indonesia were nice, but still a few people who know. For that reason T-App presented to introduce a more tourism to be known by many people, “he said.
In line with Kevin, Mega saw that T- App provided solutions for today’s problem. Mega said, in fact this idea was the little things that we often see, but can be solved existing problems in Indonesia. “On this case the problems in the field of tourism sector,” said Mega.
