Throughout the Blue Pacific, the facilitation of online payments has presented ongoing challenges. In efforts to address this growing issue in the Pacific, PTI Australia has supported the partnership between Kovena, an online payment solution provider, and hotel management system Hotel Link, to develop ‘Hotel Link Pay’, a new and innovative payment platform for the Pacific tourism sector.
