Dida Signs MOU With VORTEX To Expand Travel Business In Japan
The MOU gives Dida a local partner for partner discovery and deal-making in Japan while explicitly leaving its existing Japan operations, hotel partners, suppliers and transaction terms untouched, so the agreement is about new business development, M&A and strategic collaboration rather than a change to how Dida runs its current distribution business.

Dida Holdings, a Shenzhen-headquartered B2B travel technology group, signed a memorandum of understanding with Japanese business development and investment company VORTEX Inc. on October 9, 2026. The two will work on cross-industry opportunities in transportation, tourism and related fields, including connecting inbound travelers with Japanese retail and service businesses and developing new travel products for the Japanese market.
Dida and VORTEX describe the arrangement as a way to turn VORTEX's corporate network and sales channels in Japan into concrete business opportunities alongside Dida's global travel, airline, customer and distribution networks. The stated scope covers new business development, M&A and other strategic partnerships in Japan, and within that scope the two companies will collaborate exclusively. Dida says the deal does not affect its current operations, partnerships or transaction terms in Japan, and existing hotel partners, suppliers and customers keep transacting directly with Dida's Japan team. The companies will consider deepening collaboration as individual projects progress.
