As the summer travel season heats up, millions of people are preparing to travel within Europe and abroad.
This year, Uber introduced a unique sailing experience for tourists traveling through Spain, Greece and France.
Uber’s new travel product responds to growing demand for its services in major European tourist destinations.
In 2023, Uber saw up to 55% growth in use of its mobility services by international customers in regions such as Greece and Spain, with more than 6.5 million international customers using the Uber app in Europe’s most popular spots last summer alone.
Anabel Dias, vice president of mobility EMEA at Uber, said: “At Uber, we want to give our customers the opportunity to get where they want to travel.
“This summer we’re adding bucket-of-a-lifetime sea experiences to our app in some of Europe’s most popular destinations, helping holidaymakers make the most of their trips on the high seas.”
