M4T – “Mall for Travel ”
M4T is a platform that facilitates travel buyers and sellers alike. The endeavor is that travelers can source destination and travel related information, and the convenience to search, find, book and buy travel from a choice of travel sellers - all on a single internet platform.

As a business opportunity, potential users of the platform could be :

• National / State / Regional tourism bodies who choose to go beyond just promoting their destination. They can use M4T to convert interest into purchase by offering the traveler a choice of sellers showcasing their products in a friendly and convenient manner yet remaining neutral to the actual transaction.
• Travel industry associations who can promote and create actual commerce opportunities for their members beyond just a listing or directory;
• Communities of travel sellers who together seek to reach out to travelers sharing the philosophy of “co-option” – co-operate and compete;
• Media and entertainment organizations whose business model includes the creation of industry specific marketable properties and extract revenue by selling space within such properties, and more.
