Chat, enquiries & BusinesSite TA13 / RC2 — one network

Phase 2–5 are live for registered users. Travellers and providers share WhatsApp-style messaging on BusinesSite TA13 (tourism hub) or RC2, and full web chat after register/photo login. Guest / unregistered web chat is demo only and will not unlock full tourism, voice, or package features.
