Travelers will be able to use Alipay at 10 popular international airports by October-end, Alipay said yesterday.
The first batch of airports in Alipay's "Future Airport" program includes Munich Airport in Germany, Singapore Changi Airport, Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Kansai International Airport in Osaka, Seoul Incheon International Airport, Auckland Airport in New Zealand, Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, Hong Kong International Airport, Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei and Macau International Airport.
"We see more Chinese tourists passing through our airport every year (as they visit Japan), so becoming part of Alipay is a critical tool for our merchants to connect with Chinese tourists," said Akihisa Tabe, executive officer of Kansai Airport.
