Singapore – Dating app Tinder has activated a real-life ‘Passport’ portal connecting people in Thailand and Vietnam.
The ‘Tinder Passport: Teleport to Another City’ activation introduces a new way to meet people through a livestream portal in Siam Square, Bangkok and Landmark 81, Ho Chi Minh from December 6 to 8.
The activation complements the Passport Mode found on the Tinder app, where users can browse profiles and chat with people from a chosen location.
People on each side of the portal can connect through a five-minute video, with prompts guiding the conversation. The portal also allows them to send match requests or opt out of the call.
While the campaign has been primarily launched in Thailand and Vietnam, Tinder is planning to launch the activation in other major cities in Asia next year.
“Tinder is all about sparking new connections and creating meaningful experiences, and our latest experiential activation takes that mission to the next level. By connecting two vibrant cities in Asia, we’re giving people a unique opportunity to break the ice, meet new people, and explore the potential for real-life connections across borders similar to our Passport feature in the Tinder app,” Daniel Kim, vice president of APAC Marketing at Tinder, said.
“Whether it’s finding a new friend, travel buddy, or something more, Tinder and this campaign is designed to be a fun and innovative experience on bringing people together,” Kim added.
