Mastercard and Boingo Wireless are providing Mastercard cardholders unlimited access to more than one million premium Boingo Wi-Fi hotspots around the world. The Wi-Fi service is now available for select HSBC Mastercard cardholders in Argentina, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the U.K., as well as a number of other Mastercard cardholders worldwide, at no additional cost. As a result, these cardholders have the potential to save hundreds of dollars each year on roaming charges and subscriptions when accessing Wi-Fi hotspot locations in airports, hotels, restaurants and cafes, inflight and more.

Travel—and connectivity while traveling—is an increasing priority among people around the world. On the ground, more than half of the wealthiest travelers say that complimentary Wi-Fi is the top “desirable amenity” for them, per Resonance Consultancy. In the air, 63 percent of travelers access entertainment services on their own device while flying, according to SITA’s 11th annual Passenger IT Trends Survey. And this trend is only going to grow, as the Cisco VNI reports that mobile data traffic will grow globally sevenfold from 2016 to 2021, a compound annual growth rate of 47 percent.

“We want to provide consumers with benefits and rewards that matter to them,” said Francis Hondal, executive vice president, Credit & Loyalty, Mastercard. “That means making experiences they love, like travel, even better with a benefit that reflects their increasingly mobile lifestyles. This partnership with Boingo will help Mastercard cardholders stay connected whenever they want, wherever they go.”

“We strive to meet the needs of our customers across all segments,” said Vivek Agarwal, global head of Cards and Loans at HSBC. “Our Premier customers travel internationally so we have added access to Wi-Fi through over 1 million hotspots globally. This complements a range of other travel benefits they can enjoy.”

“Wi-Fi is now an expectation for travelers, making access to Boingo hotspots the perfect membership benefit for Mastercard cardholders,” said Dawn Callahan, chief marketing officer, Boingo. “With Boingo’s blazing fast Wi-Fi speeds, cardholders can seamlessly connect to mobile activities on the go, such as streaming their favorite TV show, working remotely or Periscoping their vacation travelogue.”

To redeem the Wi-Fi benefit, eligible Mastercard cardholders simply need to follow a few easy steps. To learn more and get started, cardholders should visit mastercard.boingo.com. The Boingo Wi-Fi benefit will roll out to other issuers and cardholders soon.

Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub

In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.
