Yesterday, the first UnionPay mobile payment “smart tourism” project in Guangdong Province started in Pingyuan Mantuo Village. The project can support a variety of advanced payment methods such as QuickPass, financial IC card QuickPass, and WeChat payment, which marks the entry of Pingyuan Travel into a new era of mobile payment.
When tourists come to the scenic spot, they can pay for tickets through an IC bank card or WeChat. They only need to put the cards or phone close to the sensor area of the gate, and the successful payment rate reaches 100%.
“The launch of the ‘smart tourism’ project is a new breakthrough in the field of mobile payment in Guangdong tourism and an important part of Pingyuan's financial reform.” The relevant person in charge said. According to reports, the project will also be extended to scenic spots such as Wuzhishi and Acacia Valley, so that all scenic spots in Pingyuan County can support a variety of advanced payment methods such as QuickPass, financial IC card QuickPass and WeChat payment, which can provide safe, convenient and fast travel payment options for the majority of tourists and reducing queuing time.
Through the self-service identification and data transmission of scanners built into the gate, tourists don’t need to buy tickets. When entering the park, they only need to show the QR code and scan it to purchase tickets. The whole process can be completed in as fast as three seconds.
