Singapore, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WEBUY GLOBAL LTD. (NASDAQ:WBUY) ("Webuy" or the "Company"), a technology-driven travel and lifestyle platform, today announced the successful launch of Altitude, its new AI-powered premium travel advisory brand. Altitude officially held its grand opening on January 26, 2026.
Following its launch, Altitude generated approximately US$400,000 in travel bookings, demonstrating early market demand for its next-generation, technology-enabled travel experience platform.
Immersive Technology Meets AI-Driven Travel Inspiration

Rising Demand for Outbound and Premium Travel
Outbound travel from Singapore continues to show strong momentum.
