Overseas navigation service XiKe Map announced on November 4 that the company has completed an angel round backed by outbound WiFi provider Uroaming.
XiKe Map is an app-based map service provider for Chinese outbound travelers especially FITs (free independent travelers). XiKe Map’s founder GuangRi Cui described the company as “an outbound travel map plus travel metasearch engine”.
The company’s navigation service, inclusive of Chinese-language voice explanations and videos about attractions, is currently covering 180 destinations in 66 countries worldwide.
With the fund raised in the latest round, the company plans to further improve its product and outbound travel data and generate more revenue from outbound destination marketing by targeting Chinese travelers with common needs for overseas duty-free stores, malls, restaurant chains and convenient stores.
