BIRMINGHAM, UK – 24/09/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Xylen, a company recognized internationally for its leadership in digital connectivity technologies, has unveiled a new solution that could reshape how the travel industry approaches mobile data access. The company has launched a wholesale travel eSIM platform that enables travel agencies, airlines, online travel agencies (OTAs), and tour operators to set up their own branded eSIM webstores in just minutes. This approach allows businesses to enter the rapidly growing eSIM market without technical barriers while creating new ways to generate revenue and improve traveler convenience.
What sets the initiative apart is Xylen’s introduction of the Free eSIM Module, a feature that provides every traveler with a complimentary eSIM as part of their booking process. Instead of navigating airports in search of local SIM cards or paying high roaming charges, travelers will have access to reliable mobile connectivity as soon as they arrive at their destinations. For travel companies, this translates into an immediate opportunity to extend their brand experience while building a recurring revenue stream through data top-ups and global connectivity packages.
Industry observers point out that the launch arrives at a pivotal time. International travel volumes have surged back toward pre-pandemic levels, and the adoption of digital-first solutions is accelerating across nearly every segment of the travel industry. At the same time, the number of eSIM-enabled devices on the market is expanding rapidly, with flagship smartphones such as the iPhone 17 no longer offering physical SIM slots in many markets. Analysts project that the global travel eSIM sector will grow significantly in the next five years, driven by both device penetration and traveler demand for seamless data access.
The white-label eSIM webstore has been designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind. According to Xylen, travel businesses can customize the storefront to reflect their own branding and deploy it without requiring technical teams or long integration timelines. This simplicity is expected to be particularly attractive to smaller agencies and regional operators that often lack the resources to build such solutions in-house but still wish to compete with larger players in providing advanced connectivity options to their customers.
Commenting on the launch, Haider Mustafa, Head of eSIMs at Xylen, emphasized both the customer-facing and business benefits of the solution: “With international travel rebounding and digital adoption at an all-time high, eSIMs are no longer a luxury—they are rapidly becoming a necessity. We designed this platform to help travel partners deploy instantly, with no technical burden. By integrating a free eSIM into every booking, we are giving travelers a frictionless experience while helping our partners tap into new ancillary revenue streams and build stronger customer loyalty.”
The announcement also highlights a broader trend of ancillary revenue becoming increasingly important for travel providers. Traditionally, airlines and agencies have depended on upselling seat upgrades, luggage options, or insurance products. Xylen’s wholesale eSIM platform adds an entirely new category, enabling partners to benefit from recurring connectivity sales that extend well beyond the initial booking. By positioning itself as the technology enabler behind these opportunities, Xylen is carving out a role as a key infrastructure partner in the travel industry’s digital transformation.
As travel continues to globalize, reliable connectivity has emerged as one of the top demands from international travelers. For Xylen, the launch of the wholesale eSIM solution is not only a business opportunity but also a commitment to making global travel simpler, faster, and more connected. The company’s strategy combines innovation in digital platforms with a focus on scalability, ensuring that partners of all sizes—from boutique agencies to multinational airlines—can participate in the shift toward digital-first travel services.
