Grab is putting its focus on making the app a useful tool for you to travel across the region. The features are meant to help tourists get a sense of what’s available in their destination as soon as they land as well as easing things such as currency conversions.
The first feature being introduced is the Traveller Homepage, which will automatically display all the Grab services in their destination, save their accommodation address and landmarks to help organise your itinerary, and explore the nearby food options. According to the company, Traveller Homepage is available for the top 33 cities visited by tourists in Southeast Asia, although they did not list which cities specifically.
Another feature that will be coming in H2 2023 is a currency converter, where the app will automatically display fares in the traveller’s preferred currency. Grab did not say which currencies will be supported when the feature rolls out.The Venues feature gets a revamp with things like images of pickup points as well as image-based turn-by-turn walking directions to guide in over 4,000 locations including major airports, malls, hotels, office buildings, parks, and more.
