UPI Payments Enabled for Online Bookings at UAE and Singapore Tourist Attractions
Indian travellers can now use Unified Payments Interface (UPI) apps to book tickets online for major tourist attractions in the UAE and Singapore, including Burj Khalifa's At the Top and Resorts World Sentosa. This facility was enabled through partnerships by NPCI International Payments Limited with local payment providers NEOPAY, Emaar Entertainment, and FOMO Pay. The move aims to simplify cross-border payments and enhance convenience for Indian visitors, strengthening digital ties between India and these countries. UPI is accepted in 10 countries globally.
