BERLIN and SÃO PAULO, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Omio,the leading multi-modal booking platform, today announced its official launch in Brazil, marking a major milestone in its global growth. Driven by the mission to make every journey seamless, Brazilian travellers can now effortlessly search, compare and book long-distance/intercity bus routes and flights from over 300 carriers - all on one app. With the expansion into Brazil, the Omio platform now unifies transportation via flights, trains, ferries and buses across 46 countries in four continents: Europe, North and South America, and Asia.

Simplifying travel across Brazil

Local and international travellers exploring Brazil will enjoy the seamless app experience that has made Omio the trusted companion for over a billion users worldwide. With multiple modes of transport in one app, Omio makes searching, comparing, and booking journeys radically simple – without app, tab, or site switching. Many cities such as Gramado/RS, Búzios/RJ, Paraty/RJ, Chapada Diamantina/BA, Lençóis Maranhenses/MA, Bonito/MS are difficult to reach by one mode of transport, and can now be easily accessed with options provided by Omio. 

From finding the fastest or most affordable routes, navigating in 32 different languages, choosing preferred payment methods and local currencies or AI-assisted Customer Service, travellers stay in control and well cared for, with Omio. In addition to enhancing the travel experience within Brazil, Omio elevates journeys for Brazilian travellers venturing to Omio's worldwide destinations.

Successful beta phase accomplished

Flights and Brazil's extensive, high-quality bus network remain the backbone of domestic travel. After a successful soft launch/Beta phase (July - September) and extensive partner onboarding, Omio now covers nearly complete ground transportation options, with plans for full coverage soon. So far, Omio's Beta app in Brazil has been well received by international and local travellers, with bookings coming from 48 different countries and a current review score of 4.9 on the App Store and 4.8 on Google Play Store in Brazil.

Building on Brazil's momentum

Omio's entry into Brazil coincides with a booming tourism sector. The country is experiencing unprecedented growth: In the first half of 2025 compared to the same period of the previous year, the sector recorded a 6.9% increase. The reported R$108 billion in revenue stands as the highest figure ever recorded in the country.

The convergence of economic scale, travel appetite, digital readiness and the opportunity to take the sting out of travel via a multi-modal platform makes Brazil a strategic and timely choice for continued expansion.
